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.
“If this air bag ruptures in a crash, it could kill you or someone you love, or leave them with critical, life-altering injuries,” NHTSA Acting Administrator Ann Carlson said in a statement. “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.”
The agency says even minor crashes can cause air bags to inflate with the potential for explosions that can kill or hurt people.
