Here is a list of the cars with Takata airbags from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: car list. My car isn't on the list of models involved (Suzuki SX4 sport) It's scary to think how many people could be killed or maimed in an accident they SHOULD be able to walk away from are driving cars involved in the recall.

My car was recalled because of the faulty airbags. I had them replaced at a dealership a few years ago.

I thought this issue in the US was already taken care of.

@Carmie

i think that they recently added more cars to the list.

yes, it has been going on a few years now.

I still haven't had mine replaced. I have some time off work right now so I should schedule an appointment. Before I forget.

I had mine fixed several months ago. It took the dealership a very long time to get the parts.

The airbags in my car were replaced a year or two ago. By the way, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Admin.) has a site where you enter your VIN and it will tell you if there are any outstanding recalls for that vehicle.

The recall on the airbags in my car both driver's and passenger side was made in 2015. I took my car to be repaired right away as soon as I was notified. I drive a Honda.

People need to take this seriously and take their car in for repair as soon as they receive a recall letter.
