This has been in the news, but never saw a list of affected vehicles. The stories just threw out names like Honda, BWM, Toyota, Chrysler, etc. but no details. Today on TV they said the gov. website for recall info was down, "best to check your auto manufacturers website". Uh, sure.
Ever the good source for all things vehicular, the Detroit News has a complete list of Make, Model, and Years affected.
Those not in tune with the problem, Takata, a Japanese maker of airbag systems seems to have had a chemical problem that has been going on for years. They have made many millions of airbags, that have an igniter that can destruct when triggered, throwing metal shrapnel through the occupant. Deaths have been attributed to it, one in OK in a HS parking lot, low speed.
