Since 2009, the exploding Takata air bags have killed at least 33 people worldwide, including 24 in the United States. All three deaths this year were in warm-weather U.S. states and happened since April, the company said.
The Stellantis vehicles under the “Do Not Drive” warning were all recalled in 2015, and free repairs have been available since then. Dealers have the parts and the service is free, and Stellantis will provide transportation to get the vehicles to and from a dealership, the company said.“Time is a critical element here because the risk increases with each day these air bag inflators go unreplaced,” said Tom McCarthy, global head of safety and regulatory compliance at Stellantis.
NHTSA urged all owners to check to see if their vehicles have an unrepaired Takata air bag recall. Drivers can go toand key in their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if they have any open recalls. In a statement, Stellantis said the vehicle’s owner asked the company about the air bag recall in 2018, but then declined to schedule service. The company said it sent 114 urgent notices to the owner for the past seven years.
