Is Your Car Part Of The Takata Airbag Recall?

On Oct. 18, 2015, GM added a couple hundred 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS and Chevrolet Malibu sedans, plus 2015 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs and Chevrolet Camaro sports cars. On June 2, 2016, GM recalled the following pickup trucks and SUVs for passenger-side airbag inflators: 2007-11 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT; 2007-11 Chevrolet Avalanche; 2007-11 Chevrolet Silverado 1500; 2007-11 Chevrolet Suburban; 2007-11 Chevrolet Tahoe; 2007-11 GMC Sierra 1500; 2007-11 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL; 2009-11 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500; and 2009-11 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500. The cars being recalled are based on how humid it is where you live, but NHTSA plans to expand the recall to eventually become national. Mercedes-Benz also recalled the following cars because of defective passenger-side inflators. Mitsubishi recalled 520,000 vehicles, Mazda 490,000, Subaru 290,000, and Mercedes-Benz 93,000. Of particular note for U.S. The expansion involves driver-side airbag inflators, and it supersedes a smaller recall in December 2014. (Note that many cars on the above list are also under recall for passenger-side airbag inflators; those campaigns ostensibly remain unchanged.) Also on May 27, FCA expanded its passenger-side Takata airbag inflator recall for the 2003 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500; that partially supersedes an earlier passenger airbag inflator recall for various FCA vehicles.



The latest recall stems from faulty Takata seat-mounted side airbag inflators, however. This latest recall expands upon a mid-May recall of 4.8 million non-North-American Honda vehicles. In Japan, conversely, a full 70 percent of the 3 million cars under recall have been repaired. UPDATE 5/13/2016, 1:30 p.m.: Honda will add another 21 million vehicles to its recalls associated with these Takata airbags, bringing the automaker鈥檚 worldwide total to 51 million vehicles. Ford will recall these cars in batches depending on humidity in your location, but NHTSA plans to expand the recall to eventually become national. Daimler expanded the recall in January 2017 to include model-year 2012 versions of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan and coupe, E-Class coupe and convertible, GLK-Class, SLS AMG coupe and convertible, and Sprinter 2500 and 3500 commercial van (both under the Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz brands), all for passenger-side airbag inflators. The Volkswagen-branded vehicles, numbering 680,000, are from 2006 through 2014. The VWs involved are: 2009-2014 CC, 2010-2014 Jetta SportWagen and Golf, 2012-2014 Eos and U.S.-built Passat sedan, and 2006-2010 German-built Passat sedan and wagon. Another expansion in January 2018 added passenger-side airbag inflators in the 2013 model-year C-Class sedan and coupe, E-Class coupe and convertible, GLK-Class and SLS-Class, and Sprinter 2500 and 3500. Daimler expanded the regions for various other Mercedes-Benz models already under regional recall, as well.



In January 2018, Ferrari added model-year 2013 versions of the California, 458 Italia (including the Spider convertible), FF and F12 Berlinetta. In January 2017, Ferrari added model-year 2012 versions of three cars: the California, 458 Italia (including the Spider convertible) and FF. Ford added more cars in January 2017, including the 2012 Fusion, 2012 Lincoln MKZ and many cars already listed above, all for passenger-side inflators.

Mercedes-Benz says that fuel economy for a base Sprinter jumped 18 percent by going from last year's V-6/five-speed combination to this year's I-4/seven-speed set-up, and about 2 to 3 percent comparing the 2013 V-6 to the 2014 V-6. There are many differences between diesel engines and their gasoline counterparts, most notably the fuel system. Note that many models covered in the 2016-18 expansions already are under recall as automakers expand the scope or geographic region of recalls within a given model year, add different inflators or recall replacement inflators. Passenger-side inflators for all cars up through the 2013 model year; later model years are still unknown. The cars being recalled are based on how humid it is where you live, but NHTSA plans to expand the recall to eventually become national.



GM has recalled 2003-07 Pontiac Vibe and 2005 Saab 9-2X hatchbacks, both from defunct brands that are closely related to other cars (the Toyota Matrix and the Subaru Impreza, respectively). On May 27, 2016, regulators added the 2006 Saab 9-2X and 2009-10 Pontiac Vibe for certain regions. GM owned Saab until 2010.) GM also issued a Takata airbag inflator recall for the Saturn Astra hatchback for the 2008-09 model years. NHTSA鈥檚 Jan. 22, 2016, recall expansion added the Saab 9-3 luxury car to the list for the 2003-11 model years, and the Saab 9-5 to the list for the 2010-11 model years. Regulators initially restricted many of the May 27 recalls - particularly for later model years - to more-humid regions of the country. In January 2018, FCA expanded the passenger-side airbag recall to include additional regions for many models listed above; it also added the 2013 Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Challenger and Charger in certain regions for the first time.



Also to be offered for the first time on the 2015 Sprinter is a 4脳4 configuration, which Geisen says is the first in the segment to be offered with factory installation. Smart Idle uses dormant abilities already present in your Sprinter for a safe and reliable installation. Daimler also recalled various Sprinter vans sold under the Dodge, Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz brands from the 2007-14 model years. Still, the automaker cautions that this is a simplified list, and not every car within these model years is under recall. For the major expansions from 2016 to 2018, note that many affected models already are under recall as automakers expand the scope or geographic region of recalls within a given model year, add different inflators or recall replacement inflators. NHTSA plans to expand those areas to eventually become national, however, and subsequent expansions have done much of that.
