34 million vehicles affected by airbag recall: What you should do if yours is ... - fox6now.com
With 34 million cars, the recall announced Tuesday represents almost one out of every seven cars on the road needing to be repaired. And while Honda cars are most likely to have recalled airbags, they are spread across 10 other automakers as well. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is in the process of listing all the cars being recalled on a website dedicated to the Takata recall. That site includes a way to enter your vehicle identification number, or VIN, to see if your car is included in this or any other recall. However, NHTSA does not yet have a list of all the cars included in the Takata recall, or all their VINs. So even if your VIN doesn’t show your car having any open recalls, it’s a good idea to check back in a few weeks to see if it has been added. If my car has one of the dangerous airbags, what should I do. You should contact a dealership that sells your model of car to get the airbag replaced. There are not 34 million replacement airbags ready to be installed, and NHTSA is working with manufacturers and Takata to prioritize which cars. Source: fox6now.com
