Toyota and Nissan expand airbag recall by 6.6 million cars - whnt.com
HONG KONG — Toyota and Nissan have recalled an additional 6. 56 million cars equipped with possibly faulty airbags manufactured by Japan-based Takata. Toyota’s recall covers 5 million vehicles globally, including an estimated 637,000 in the United States. Tens of millions of cars equipped with Takata airbags have been recalled by automakers recently over fears the airbags may explode and send shrapnel flying at drivers and passengers. Toyota said the decision to expand its recall was made after investigators uncovered moisture problems that could make airbags “susceptible to abnormal deployment in a crash. The smaller Nissan recall covers 1. 56 million vehicles that were manufactured between 2004 and 2007. Which vehicles are recalled. Source: whnt.com
