Reminder: Takata Airbag Recall

About the Takata Airbag Recall

Affected vehicles have a passenger side frontal airbag inflator which is susceptible to moisture intrusion. Over time, accumulated moisture can cause the inflator to rupture upon its deployment during a frontal collision. Abnormal deployments are mainly found on vehicles that are exposed to high heat and humidity for a prolonged period, hence, vehicles in Asia are more susceptible to this phenomenon.

The Takata Airbag Recall has been issued worldwide and affects vehicles across several brands.
