The faulty bags line the dashboards, steering wheels and door interiors of suspected vehicles \u2013 making it a veritable kill-box should there be an accident. To date there are over 30 known injuries and multiple deaths linked to these deadly safety devices.<\/p>\n<p>Like the most recent GM recall, finger pointing and outright denial has been the bulk of Takata\u2019s defense. Rumors and accusations have flown about how much the company knew, when they knew it and how likely it is they covered up the problem. However, in a recent move, Takata admitted, under pressure by lawmakers, watch dog groups and their own consumers, that mishandled propellant installed by their Mexico planet is the likely cause of the problem. Under certain humid conditions, the propellant may become volatile and in the process of deployment, can tear apart the metal inflator housing \u2013 making it a miniature explosive sitting only feet from consumers\u2019 faces.<span id=\"more-5361\"><\/span><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nDoes This Recall Effect Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you purchased one of the following cars, it is highly recommended that you investigate the recall in detail.

It is a common practice for people to say, \u201cIt can\u2019t happen to me.\u201d Unfortunately, that is true \u2013 until it does. Especially for folks and families living in a humid or coastal location, such as Florida or the outlying islands. One of the key issues Takata encountered was water seeping into the airbag housing and mixing with the propellant, making it far too combustible. So, be sure to review the recall lists thoroughly and speak with your local dealership for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In yet another boondoggle for consumers, Honda, GM, BMW and other automakers have begun recalling nearly eight million cars because [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[116,258],"tags":[253,257,314,602],"class_list":["post-16762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-legal-blog","category-consumer-alert","tag-consumer-alert","tag-recall-2","tag-safety-2","tag-takata-airbags"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) -
