NHTSA is requesting owners of vehicles listed below to get the driver side airbag repaired as the defective units could be threat to the safety of drivers. Most vehicles are old and owners may be different from the original owners thus not receiving information about the recall.
You can also check directly at
NHTSA for manufacturer support page where you can verify your vehicle by entering the VIN number.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
urges owners of certain Toyota, Honda, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi,
Subaru, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors vehicles to act immediately on
recall notices to replace defective Takata airbags. Over seven million
vehicles are involved in these recalls, which have occurred as far back
as 18 months ago and as recently as Monday. The message comes with
urgency, especially for owners of vehicles affected by regional recalls
in the following areas: Florida, Puerto Rico, limited areas near the
Gulf of Mexico in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana,
as well as Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii.
"Responding to these recalls, whether old or new, is essential to
personal safety and it will help aid our ongoing investigation into
Takata airbags and what appears to be a problem related to extended
exposure to consistently high humidity and temperatures. However, we’re
leaving no stone unturned in our aggressive pursuit to track down the
full geographic scope of this issue," said NHTSA Deputy Administrator
David Friedman.
Consumers that are uncertain whether their vehicle is impacted by the
Takata recalls, or any other recall, can contact their manufacturer’s
website to search, by their vehicle identification number (VIN) to
confirm whether their individual vehicle has an open recall that needs
to be addressed. Owners that have been contacted by their manufacturer
should contact their dealer’s service department and make arrangements
for the repair. In addition, consumers can sign up for NHTSA recall
alerts, which go out before recall letters are mailed by the
manufacturers to the affected owners.
7.8 Million Affected U.S. Vehicles, by Manufacturer, Impacted by CY 2013 and 2014 Recalls Involving Takata Airbags
Note: The list below corrects the list that accompanied our
October 20 advisory, which incorrectly included certain vehicles. The
numbers cited for potentially affected vehicles below are subject to
change and adjustment because there may be cases of vehicles being
counted more than once. Owners should check their VIN periodically as
manufacturers continue to add VINs to the database. Once owner recall
notices are available, owners can retrieve a copy from SaferCar.gov, or
will receive one by U.S. mail and are advised to carefully follow the
