WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration urges owners of certain Toyota, Honda, Mazda, BMW,
Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors vehicles to act
immediately on recall notices to replace defective Takata airbags. Over six
million vehicles are involved in these recalls, which have occurred as far back
as 18 months ago and as recently as Monday. The message comes with urgency,
especially for owners of vehicles affected by regional recalls in the following
areas: Florida, Puerto Rico, limited areas near the Gulf of Mexico in Texas,
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana, as well as Guam, Saipan, American
Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii.
"Responding
to these recalls, whether old or new, is essential to personal safety and it
will help aid our ongoing investigation into Takata airbags and what appears to
be a problem related to extended exposure to consistently high humidity and
temperatures. However, we’re leaving no stone unturned in our aggressive
pursuit to track down the full geographic scope of this issue," said NHTSA
Deputy Administrator David Friedman.
Consumers
that are uncertain whether their vehicle is impacted by the Takata recalls, or
any other recall, can contact their manufacturer’s website to search, by their
vehicle identification number (VIN) to confirm whether their individual vehicle
has an open recall that needs to be addressed. Owners that have been contacted
by their manufacturer should contact their dealer’s service department and make
arrangements for the repair. In addition, consumers can sign up for NHTSA
recall alerts, which go out before recall letters are mailed by the
manufacturers to the affected owners.

Affected U.S. Vehicles, by Manufacturer, Impacted by CY 2013 and 2014 Recalls
Involving Takata Airbags
Note: The list below corrects the list that
accompanied our October 20 advisory, which incorrectly included certain
vehicles. The numbers cited for potentially affected vehicles below are subject
to change and adjustment because there may be cases of vehicles being counted
more than once. Owners should check their VIN periodically as manufacturers
continue to add VINs to the database. Once owner recall notices are available,
owners can retrieve a copy from SaferCar.gov,
or will receive one by U.S. mail and are advised to carefully follow the
enclosed instructions.
