Takata Airbag Recall Doubled

05/20/2015 1:06 PM

Takata's airbag recall was discussed on CR4 back in November. The manufacturer has since doubled the recall to include about 34 million vehicles. According to an article (where you can read more details), this is the largest automotive recall in American history.

Does your car contain Takata airbags? (Here's a list of those affected, but it was last updated in August 2014.) An article from Consumer Reports explains why you probably can't get replacements from another supplier.

The government is establishing a web site where one can enter a VIN to determine if that vehicle is equipped with an exploding air bag.

This benefits buyers of used cars, specifically. And if that vehicle is 10 years old, or newer, a free replacement program is available. This is per NPR this morning.
