Massive Takata Airbag Recall: Everything You Need To Know

See the 2007 Dodge Sprinter price range, expert review, consumer reviews, safety ratings, and listings near you. We went to Utah to see it all live, including the award-winning models below. A number of them are new, however, including the 2009-11 Acura TSX sedan and 2011 TSX Sport Wagon, the 2010-11 Acura ZDX, the 2009-11 Honda Pilot, 2008-11 Accord, 2010-11 Accord Crosstour, 2009-11 CR-V, 2006-11 Civic (including the Civic Hybrid and natural-gas Civic GX), 2010-11 Insight, 2007-11 Ridgeline and 2007-11 Fit. New models under the passenger-airbag expansion are the 2013 Acura TSX (including the TSX Sport Wagon) and 2013 ZDX; and the 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2013 FCX Clarity, 2012-13 Fit (including the Fit EV), 2012-13 Insight, 2013 Pilot and 2012-13 Ridgeline. On Feb. 3, 2016, Honda added a huge chunk of additional cars to its Takata airbag recall, all under recall for driver-side airbag inflators: the 2007-11 Honda CR-V, 2011-15 Honda CR-Z, 2010-14 Honda FCX Clarity, 2010-14 Honda Insight, 2009-14 Honda Fit (including the Fit EV), 2007-14 Honda Ridgeline, 2013-16 Acura ILX (including the ILX Hybrid), 2007-16 Acura RDX, 2005-12 Acura RL, 2009-14 Acura TL and 2010-13 Acura ZDX. Honda announced May 28, 2015, it would recall more 2001 and 2003-05 Civics as well as 2003-07 Accords for front-passenger airbag inflators, even as both cars were already under recall for driver-side airbag inflators.



None of this newest batch were sold in North America; more than one-third are in Japan. Others are new, however, including the 2009-11 Mazda6, 2006 MPV, the 2007-11 CX-7, 2007-11 CX-9 and 2006-11 RX-8. Mazda鈥檚 national Takata airbag recall affect the 2003-08 Mazda6, including the 2006-07 Mazdaspeed6 built from Aug. 4, 2005, to June 29, 2007, as well as the 2004-08 RX-8 and the 2004-06 B-Series pickup truck. Repeated expansions from Honda, including large expansions in early 2017 and 2018 for passenger-side inflators, make for a complex situation. Both driver- and passenger-side airbag inflators, though it depends on the specific car. Specific cars vary, but the pre-2007 B-Series and pre-2009 Mazda6 and RX-8 model years are largely under recall for both inflators, while other vehicles and model years are largely under recall for the passenger side only. It depends on the specific car. Individual models will vary, and given that Honda鈥檚 Takata recalls don鈥檛 necessarily affect every car in a listed model year, some owners in this set may need repairs for one airbag inflator or the other, or both inflators.



It seems I鈥檝e had way too many problems with my Mercedes Metris, not the least trying to find a capable Mercedes dealer to make repairs. In July 2017, Mazda issued a new recall to put permanent replacement inflators in about 205,000 model-year 2007-11 Mazda CX-7 and CX-9 SUVs and 2009-11 Mazda6 sedans that had been recalled in May 2016. Under the previous recall, they were getting temporary repairs with new inflators of the same type recalled. Its maximum loading volume is 10.5 m3, the same as for the Sprinter with a combustion engine. The engine in your 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The ProMaster 3500 comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that has 280 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. 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.



The automaker has a national campaign for driver-side airbag inflators, which on May 28 it said it would upgrade from a voluntary 鈥淪afety Improvement Campaign鈥?to a formal recall. Some of them are for cars that are already under recall for driver-side airbags. UPDATE 5/28/2015, 5:00 p.m.: Ford has added more than 900,000 vehicles to its list of recalls for potentially defective airbags from Takata. Mazda6 or RX-8, your car may have more than one recall. A simple base unit looks a bit more spartan than the outgoing one but does away with the goofy-looking dial pad. The four-wheel-drive system is smart and well-engineered, but it seems to us that a manually locking front and rear differential would make this vehicle more capable and predictable, giving the driver more confidence. Ford, in addition to recalling the 2006 Ranger for both driver and passenger airbag inflators, is recalling the 2009-2010 Edge, Fusion, Mustang, Ranger, Mercury Milan, Lincoln MKX, and Lincoln MKZ to replace the passenger-side inflator.
