That came on the heels of an announcement last week by the agency of another recall for more than 230,000 Ford Rangers built from 2004 to 2006. Those vehicles may have replacement air bags that were incorrectly installed during the original Ranger recall, NHTSA said.to see whether their vehicles fall under the warning.“If you have a model year 2000-2006 BMW with a recalled Takata air bag, get it repaired immediately — for free,” NHTSA Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman said in a statement.
The air bags have defective inflators that can explode or not inflate properly when deployed, NHTSA said.announced “Do Not Drive” orders because of the exploding air bags issue. Separately, tens of millions of vehicles are covered by an ongoing recall involving the risk of exploding Takata air bags, but additional problems with its air bags continue to be discovered. Takata was forced into bankruptcy in 2017 because of all the scandals, problems and resulting lawsuits, and pleaded guilty to criminal wrongdoing. NHTSA has forced at least 67 million Takata air bags to be recalled since 2013.
Joyson Safety Systems, which acquired most of Takata’s assets in 2018, did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
