The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging vehicle owners to visit NHTSA.gov/Recalls to determine whether their vehicle has an open Takata air bag recall. Owners can search using their license plate number or vehicle identification number. NHTSA also offers the SaferCar app to check automatically for recalls and allows users to sign up for email alerts at NHTSA.gov/Alerts.
If a vehicle is under recall, owners should contact their dealership to schedule a free repair as soon as possible and should not drive the vehicle until it is repaired. Owners can also call FCA’s customer service hotline at 833-585-0144.
More than 67 million Takata air bags have been recalled in tens of millions of vehicles across the United States. NHTSA has confirmed 28 deaths in the U.S. linked to defective Takata air bags that exploded. At least 400 people in the U.S. have reportedly been injured by exploding Takata air bag inflators.
According to NHTSA, even minor crashes can result in exploding Takata air bags that can cause death or serious injury. Older model year vehicles are at higher risk because older air bags are more likely to explode.
