Takata air bags have been dominating the headlines over the past year and not for good reasons at all. A fault with the air bags across a range of different manufacturers has resulted in recalls spreading into the millions area all around the world. The airbags exploding and firing shrapnel into the face of the driver and passengers has even resulted in fatalities. Companies such as Honda, Lexus and recently Jeep with their Cherokee models are just some of the companies that fit these airbags to their cars. It was announced over the weekend in America however that even older vehicles will now be taken into consideration with the use of these airbags which will see another 2.1 million vehicles affected. Honda, Fiat and Toyota have been confirmed to be the companies recalling these further models. Recent reports as recent as January the 18th have been reported resulting in a fatality in Texas in America. This is still a big problem for the car industry and with more added to the list, we could very well see the Takata recalls continue further throughout the course of this year.
