Central Valley California – Takata Airbag Recall Personal Injury Attorneys

Central Valley California – Takata Airbag Recall Personal Injury Attorneys

One of the largest automobile recalls in American history targets the manufacturer Takata for their airbags. The Takata brand airbag has been reported to be defective and remains in several automobiles across the nation. The airbags manufactured by Takata have a history of exploding and sending shrapnel flying upon impact. Takata performed safety tests and knowingly decided to leave out this important safety information before installing their airbags into automobiles nationwide. Four people, thus far, have been accidentally killed and over 100 injuries have been reported as a result of this manufacturer defect. To date 14 million vehicles with this dangerous defect have been recalled, however, many more drivers continue to cruise around Central Valley California unaware of the dangers lurking beneath their dashboards.

How can I protect myself and my loved ones from Takata airbag recalls?

Specific models being affected by this recall were manufactured in the years 2000 – 2007 and are as follows, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota. If you believe your car may be affected by the Takata airbag recall you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) at SaferCar.gov. It’s best to check periodically as new vehicles are being added to the recall list all the time.

My car’s on the list of defective air bag recalls. Now what?

If you have not been injured as a result of a defective airbag consider yourself lucky and take all precautionary measures necessary. If your car is on the Takata recall list take your car back to the dealer as soon as possible and ask them how to proceed. Some parts are back ordered and some dealers are asking that airbags be temporarily disconnected until parts are available to replace defective airbags.
