Tesla, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Daimler Vans are recalling about 1.7 million vehicles to replace the potentially deadly airbag inflators made by Takata. Even without an accident to trigger their deployment, the inflators can fracture, spraying shrapnel into drivers and passengers. And it comes on the heels of announcements from FCA (the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram), Ford, Honda, Mazda, and Toyota that included more than 3.5 million vehicles. Mercedes is calling back 288,779 cars from model years 2010 to 2017. Finally, Ferrari listed various 2014 to 2018 models. The last wave of recalls is expected to be announced early in 2020.

As you've undoubtedly heard by now, these faulty Takata airbag inflators are being blamed for at least 23 deaths and hundreds of injuries. Owners who want to check whether their auto is part of the campaign need to call their nearest dealer, or check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)'s official website.
