Takata Airbags - RECALL expanded 14 major car manufacturers

Thanks so much my 17 year old brother has a Mazda included in the recall and we had no idea and my husbands Ford too.

My car is affected by this recall. I have known about it for a year at least but they keep saying they don't have the parts to fix it yet.

I had a major car accident with one of these affected vehicles, and had much more serious injuries from just the force of the air bag than I should have going about 10 miles an hour and sliding on ice into a cement divider. The amount of force was crazy, and I had cuts in my shirt from the shrapnel inside....it's crazy and I've been in contact with them about it. I was about 5 weeks pregnant at the time.

Please get them replaced so no one else has to deal with this! I was fortunate to only have bad bruising, whiplash, and a concussion and not some of the horrible injuries others have experienced. The airbag was forceful enough that my steering column shifted inward completely and totalled my car to not be fixable...it was insane.

We got a recall notice in the mail today for our 2005 CRV. I just happened to be googling and saw how much the initial recall had been expanded. When I talked to a few people they had no idea so this seemed announcement worthy.

Thanks for the info! I had heard the initial recall and checked then so this helped a ton to know I am still ok (2007 Civic).

I think I'm missing something. Why does the region of registration matter?

Some manufactures are only recalling cars that are kept in warm, humid states
