Top RVs Of 2020: 鈥楻VX鈥?Reveals Show Winners
Drivers claim that it's bad enough to seem like it's raining in the vehicle, and some owners say that it leads to mold and water damage around the headliner. There is an internal water tank, a complete kitchen, a heater system that it tied into the same fuel source as the van itself, and more. In addition, the Sprinter 3500 chassis is equipped with LED performance headlights, power/heated/swivel seats, and the all-new MBUX infotainment system featuring a 10.25鈥?touchscreen with intelligent voice control, navigation and a wireless charging port. To do it, they'll drive an Airstream Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Interstate 3500 20,000 miles on a tour of the country and 50 of our greatest national parks. Even when conditions are unfavorable, the customer still has a range of 100 kilometers (62 miles). These cars were initially recalled for the defect between 2008 and 2011, and while 鈥渕ore than 70 percent鈥?now have new inflators, there are still 313,000 vehicles with the original inflators. Another five automakers are still using Takata鈥檚 ammonium-nitrate airbag inflators, with or without desiccant, including Daimler (vans only), Ford, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru.
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation has identified additional new cars that still use non-desiccated Takata inflators. Of those, 2.1 million are non-desiccated. The new factory and the 1,300 people it will employ by the end of 2020 are certainly cause for excitement, but that was only one of many reasons for the MB Vans team was constantly smiling. Also, the brand鈥檚 parent company, Daimler, is recalling 5100 vans for the same issue: 2010-2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 2009-2011 Freightliner Sprinter, and 2009 Dodge Sprinter. This recall affects the 2008-2011 C300 sedan, C350 sedan, and C63 AMG sedan; 2010-2011 GLK350 and E350 coupe; 2011 E350 convertible, E550 coupe and convertible, and the SLS AMG. This recall affects the 2007-2011 BMW X5, the 2008-2011 BMW X6, and the 2010-2011 BMW X6 ActiveHybrid. This recall affects the 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2009-2011 Jaguar XF. Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 54,350 vehicles as part of the expanded Takata passenger-side airbag recalls. Nissan is recalling 402,450 cars as part of the expanded Takata passenger-side airbag recalls.
No new models or model years have been added, although Toyota has included an unknown number of cars not previously under recall. Not all the manufacturers gave specific models to Nelson, the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, who, in March, queried the original 14 automakers involved. It鈥檚 very confusing that automakers would be allowed to install parts that are known to be defective, except NHTSA thinks they won鈥檛 become defective until years later, at which time proper replacement parts will be available. UPDATE 6/1/2016, 3:00 p.m.: A report from Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) says that four automakers are continuing to use Takata airbag inflators containing non-desiccated ammonium nitrate in current new cars, despite tests proving these inflators are the most prone to ruptures. The non-desiccated inflators are considered dangerous since they do not have a chemical to absorb moisture. UPDATE 6/21/2016, 2:00 p.m.: Fiat Chrysler said it would stop using non-desiccated Takata airbag inflators with ammonium nitrate by next week. UPDATE 7/19/2016, 5:00 p.m.: An internal audit conducted by Takata and Honda found the airbag supplier manipulated airbag test data that stripped out poorer results, according to Bloomberg. To this end, the temperature of the test vehicles and their batteries was lowered to extremes in special cold cells in order to test the starting behaviour and thermal management during so-called cold starts.
UPDATE 6/17/2016, 10:00 a.m.: Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Honda鈥檚 joint venture in China, is recalling 1 million vehicles for their Takata airbags, the Detroit News reports. UPDATE 6/27/2016, 10:30 a.m.: Automotive News reports that a ruptured airbag appears to have caused a woman鈥檚 death in an accident in Malaysia. If verified, this would be the third death related to defective Takata airbags in Malaysia this year. The official cause of death has yet to be declared as of this writing. FCA will end production globally by mid-September. In addition a signal will sound. A blocked DPF could and probably will result in limp home mode. If you wish to reset this mode, you would have to learn how to bypass limp mode. Takata airbag inflators have involved this group of Honda and Acura models. Of those, 608,717 Mustangs and about 400 GTs had already been recalled for their driver鈥檚-side airbags; the other models are newly added.
