Takata Airbags: Another Death Confirmed

• A road fatality recorded last February has been attributed to the presence of faulty Takata airbags.• U.S. authorities are urging owners of unrepaired vehicles to get the fixes done as soon as possible.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration once again is urging owners of vehicles that may be equipped with the air bags to have the necessary repairs made. This year alone, there have been four confirmed Takata-related deaths, including two related to Stellantis vehicles and one to Ford. Honda said the 2002 Accord involved in the Kentucky crash was recalled in 2011 and the Japanese automaker made more than 300 attempts to reach the owner who bought the car in 2008. The repair was never completed.Last month, Stellantis asked owners of 276,000 older U.S. vehicles to stop driving their vehicle immediately after three deaths related to defective Takata airbags were reported this year. NHTSA has confirmed two of the three fatalities.
