The vehicle manufacturers issue and conduct recalls and report to NHTSA on how the recalls are going.Īmong other things, in the Takata air bag recalls, NHTSA has: Phasing and prioritizing repair parts is important since it was not possible for all of the replacement parts to be available right away and some vehicles were at much higher risk of a dangerous air bag explosion than others. This included phasing and prioritizing when the replacement parts are required to be available to consumers. In the Takata air bag recalls, NHTSA ordered the automakers to accelerate their repair programs to fix all affected vehicles as quickly as possible. Department of Transportation tasked with vehicle safety on our public roads, including oversight of automakers’ and suppliers’ compliance with safety standards and with safety recall requirements for both defects and non-compliances. If you drive certain 2001-2003 Honda or Acura vehicles, you should contact Honda at 84 or a dealer IMMEDIATELY to schedule the FREE REPAIR and ONLY drive the vehicle to the dealership for this repair before driving anywhere else. The vast majority of Takata air bags will perform as expected. Vehicles equipped with air bags, including air bags that are under recall, save lives and reduce injuries. Dealers and manufacturers are not required to provide you a loaner car, but it’s a good idea to ask. If you feel uncomfortable continuing to drive your vehicle before it is repaired, you should contact your dealer to see if they will provide a loaner until the repair is completed. Some vehicle manufacturers have advised vehicle owners to not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat until a repair is completed and, if that is the case for your vehicle, you should follow those instructions.

Ford and Mazda will provide towing and loaner vehicles for affected vehicle owners. If you own one of these vehicles, contact your dealer IMMEDIATELY. Ford and Mazda are advising some owners of MY 2006 Rangers and B-Series trucks not to drive.
