Takata recall: Air bags
What is wrong
Honda and Nissan are recalling vehicles manufactured with Takata Corporation (Takata) PSDI-5D driver air bag inflators. Due to a manufacturing error, the air bag inflator may not function properly or the inflator may explode in the event of a crash that necessitates driver air bag deployment.
What could happen
An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
The fix
Takata will work with affected OEM's who will be replacing the driver frontal air bag module, free of charge. The recall began March 30, 2020. Owners may contact Takata customer service at 1-248-373-8040.
