Vehicle recalls happen all the time with most major car manufacturers. If you’ve owned a vehicle in the last 20 years, chances are your car has had at least one recall issued, if not several. These recalls involve replacing potentially dangerous components that weren’t discovered until after the manufacturing process.
In recent years, we’ve seen the largest recall in automotive history—possibly the most dangerous—and it’s still going on. Vehicles built between 2002-2015 containing Takata airbags have been recalled due to the risk of these airbags exploding upon inflation, injuring and even killing drivers and passengers. Fourteen different vehicle manufacturers are involved in the recall, representing hundreds of thousands of vehicles. In June, federal safety regulators warned that certain Honda and Acura vehicles carried a 50% chance “of a dangerous airbag inflater rupture in a crash.”
