Takata is recalling over 1 million driver's side inflators in the U.S. because they could explode and release shrapnel.
Dec. 8, 2019—Takata is recalling about 1.4 million driver's side inflators in the U.S. because they could explode and hurl shrapnel, per a report by the Detroit Free Press.
The recall covers certain BMW, Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles made from 1995 to 2000. BMW has already issued a recall. Unlike previous recalls, however, the non-azide inflators do not use volatile ammonium nitrate to fill the air bags in a crash.
Takata made about 4.5 million of the air bag inflators worldwide but only some are in use because the vehicles are so old.
