QUOTE(Volkswagen2 @ Oct 23 2014, 08:29 AM) Looks like many models are affected, though they are older models year 2000-2006. Apparently even though there are recalls in the US, defective airbags are still in use in the US. Looks like people are expecting for the airbags to stay in their respective compartments for life, not expecting the airbags to deploy. If that's the case, might be better to produce cars without air bags at all. Can anyone please let me know whether Honda City 2006 model is affected? It is not in the list but maybe Honda City is marketed under another name in the US? Anyone knows? Car models affected:- BMW: 2000–2006 3-series sedan and wagon; 2000–2006 3-series coupe and convertible Chrysler: 2006 Dodge Charger (additional models unknown as of now) Ford: 2004 Ranger, 2005–2006 GT, 2005–2007 Mustang General Motors: 2003–2005 Pontiac Vibe, 2013–2014 Cruze (different Takata module, similar problem) Honda/Acura: 2001–2007 Accord, 2001–2005 Civic, 2002–2006 CR-V, 2003–2011 Element, 2002–2004 Odyssey, 2002–2007 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline; 2002–2003 CL and TL, 2005 RL, 2003–2006 MDX Mazda: 2003–2007 Mazda 6, 2006–2007 Mazdaspeed 6, 2004 MPV, 2004–2008 RX-8 Nissan/Infiniti: 2001–2003 vehicles (complete model list and most years unknown) Subaru: 2003–2004 Baja, Legacy, Outback; 2004 Impreza Toyota/Lexus: 2003–2005 Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra; 2003–2005 SC430 Stephanie Erdman's life changed forever in September of last year. The Florida woman was involved in a collision in a Honda Civic. The airbag exploded and sent shrapnel into her face. Two people have died -- an 18 year old in Oklahoma and a mother of three in Virginia -- when the airbags did not perform as designed. A coroner's report in California links a third death. A government database shows more than 100 people have reported being hurt. All from airbags manufactured by the Takata Corporation of Japan. "This is one of the deadliest defects that we have ever seen," says Ditlow. "Yet 10 years later we are just beginning to get to the bottom of it." Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, show Honda, the biggest buyer of Takata airbags, first learned about an exploding airbag in 2004. They recalled about 4,000 cars in 2008. The recalls have now reached 11 million vehicles. |

QUOTE(dares @ Oct 31 2014, 03:52 AM) Better switch to electric vehicles. Then say electric shocks and battery explosion have much higher chance than say, airbag 'explosion'.When driving internal combustion engine cars, there is a metal block a few feet from your balls with thousands of explosions happening in it every minute internal combustion engine... is just combustion, not explosion. Otherwise it would be called internal explosion engine. But then our professor might say once the valve lift, combustion becomes explosion, thus more power. |
