Takata airbag recall: What you should do
May 24, 2015
As many as 1 in 7 cars on the road in the US are estimated to have a Takata air bag with a defect.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is updating a list of all vehicles affected by VIN but it’ll take some time so check that list in the next few weeks to see if you should take your car to a dealer.
Please do take a minute to check. The airbag defect involves shrapnel and can cause serious injury!
Update: I checked all our cars and so far they’re showing up with 0 active recalls. I’ll check back again in a few weeks just in case.
It’s very odd, but I’ve tried looking up by my vehicle’s VIN and I keep getting a message that it isn’t a valid VIN. I’ve verified the VIN on the car title, the sales receipt, and service record receipts so it MUST be a valid one. Hmmm…
I got that when I misentered the number 0 for the letter O – could it be something like that?
