ruptured. That marks four deaths this year related to Takata inflator rupture in airbags and 23 in total. The time for checking on whether or not your vehicle has a recall related to Takata airbags is today.
“Whatever you’re doing, stop now and check to see if your vehicle has a Takata air bag recall. If it does, make an appointment to get your free repair as soon as possible,” said NHTSA Acting Administrator Ann Carlson.“If this air bag ruptures in a crash, it could kill you or someone you love, or leave them with critical, life-altering injuries. Every day that passes when you don’t get a recalled air bag replaced puts you and your family at greater risk of injury or death,” Carlson continued.
The Japanese carmaker pointed out that it currently has sufficient supplies of replacement inflators to complete the free repairs for all recalled Honda and Acura models in the United States, urging all owners of affected vehicles to “seek repair as soon as possible”.It’s worth noting that death clearly isn’t the only possible outcome of a ruptured airbag inflator. In fact, the vast majority of injuries associated with these airbags aren’t deadly ones.
