      Overview
                      Tens of millions of vehicles with Takata air bags are under recall. Long-term exposure to high heat and humidity can cause these air bags to explode when deployed. Such explosions have caused injuries and deaths.
NHTSA urges vehicle owners to take a few simple steps to protect themselves and others from this very serious threat to safety.
Do Not Drive
Do Not Drive warnings have been issued for some of the vehicles.
OTHER
A separate group of defective Takata air bags was recalled in late 2019. Unlike the air bag inflators in the larger Takata recalls, this recall involves non-azide driver inflators.

                  FAQs
          
          
    
  
       
    
  Is my vehicle included in the air bag recall?
              If your vehicle is currently under recall, you should have received a notice in the mail from your vehicle’s manufacturer. If you haven’t received a notice but are concerned your vehicle may be included, use NHTSA’s Recalls Look-up Tool to check. To get future notices if your vehicle is recalled, sign up for e-mail alerts at NHTSA.gov/alerts. To see the full list of affected vehicles and their assigned Priority Group for having repair parts available, check the list in Annex A.
NHTSA also recommends that you use the VIN Look-up Tool at least twice a year to see if your vehicle is under any safety recall. **Please note that vehicles that have not yet been recalled, but are scheduled to be recalled in the future under NHTSA’s Consent Order with Takata, will not be searchable until they are actually recalled – this is an example of why it is so important to check for recalls twice each year.**
                      
            What should I do if my vehicle is under recall?
              Every recall is serious because it means there is a safety problem with your vehicle, so contact your dealer as soon as possible to get the recall repair **FOR FREE**.
If a dealer refuses to repair your vehicle as described in the recall letter, you should notify the manufacturer immediately. You can also file a complaint with NHTSA. Provide as many details as possible, including the name of the dealership and any personnel involved.
                      
            Should I ask the dealer to disable my air bag while I am waiting for a repair?
              No. It is much more likely that your air bag will perform properly and protect you in a crash than cause harm. An air bag that is purposely disabled has a 100-percent chance of failing to provide any protection in a crash.
                      
            Should I stop driving my vehicle until it is repaired?
              Ford and Mazda are advising some owners of MY 2006 Rangers and B-Series trucks not to drive. If you own one of these vehicles, contact your dealer IMMEDIATELY. Ford and Mazda will provide towing and loaner vehicles for affected vehicle owners. 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. 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. Dealers and manufacturers are not required to provide you a loaner car, but it’s a good idea to ask. Vehicles equipped with air bags, including air bags that are under recall, save lives and reduce injuries. The vast majority of Takata air bags will perform as expected.
If you drive certain 2001-2003 Honda or Acura vehicles, you should contact Honda at 844-758-9245 or a dealer IMMEDIATELY to schedule the FREE REPAIR and ONLY drive the vehicle to the dealership for this repair before driving anywhere else.
                      
            What is an “interim” or “like for like” repair, and why should I bother having that performed?
              A small number of manufacturers are replacing older Takata air bags with newly manufactured versions of these same Takata parts. Even though these “interim” or “like for like” replacements will eventually need to be replaced as well, you should still have this repair performed if it is offered to you. This is because an older air bag is more likely to explode than a newer version of the same air bag. Replacing the older air bag with a newer version reduces the safety risk in your vehicle until a final replacement air bag can be produced and installed. All owners who receive an interim replacement air bag will still be provided a free, final repair and should be sure to have that done as well.
                      
            Is it true that if I have an interim repair performed, I lose my priority for a permanent repair? Why would I agree to that?
              Yes, that is correct. Repairs are prioritized to reduce risk. If you received an interim replacement air bag, your risk has been reduced. A vehicle that has yet to receive any replacement air bag is now a higher priority to be repaired. But it is still better to receive the interim replacement air bag now to reduce your immediate risk, and you will still be entitled to a **free**, final repair. It is an inconvenience to have your vehicle serviced twice and to wait for a final repair. But rejecting an interim replacement air bag is not worth the continued higher risk of injury or even death to you, your family, and your friends while waiting for the final repair.
                      
            I was told that my vehicle will have to wait to be repaired because the replacement of air bags in other vehicles were given higher priority than mine. Why isn’t my vehicle being fixed first?
              NHTSA prioritized Takata air bag repairs to ensure that vehicles with air bags that pose the highest threat to safety are able to be fixed first, while also working to ensure that parts are available to repair every affected vehicle as quickly as possible.
Testing, field experience, and research show that older air bags in vehicles with prolonged exposure to hot and humid environments pose a much greater risk of exploding.
Based on the best available data, NHTSA ordered vehicle manufacturers to get replacement air bags for older vehicles first, since those air bags are most likely to have had long-term exposure to hot and humid conditions.
Regardless of these circumstances, every defective air bag must be—and will be—replaced. We ask for your understanding while the air bags that pose a higher risk to their vehicles’ drivers and passengers are replaced first.
                      
            I spend my winters in south Florida and have done so for the past 10 years, but my car is registered in a northern State. Why shouldn’t my car have a higher priority?
              The data collected and examined by NHTSA shows that long-term exposure to combined high heat and humidity creates the risk that a Takata air bag will explode. A vehicle that “winters” in a hot and humid location does not experience the same continuous periods of heat and humidity as a vehicle that has been driven in these conditions year-round for many years.
                      
            How can I find out what priority group I’m in for getting my recall repair?
              See the current list of Takata air bag-affected vehicles by priority group (PDF, 668 KB) for all 19 of the affected manufacturers. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your manufacturer directly.
                      
            How many people have been killed or injured by defective Takata PSAN air bag inflators?
              NHTSA has confirmed that 27 people in the United States have been killed when their defective Takata PSAN air bag inflators exploded. In addition, at least 400 people in the United States have allegedly been injured by exploding Takata air bag inflators.
                      
            How many vehicles and air bag inflators are being recalled?
              All scheduled recalls have been filed, and approximately 67 million air bags are under recall in tens of millions of vehicles.
                      
            What is NHTSA’s role in the Takata recall?
              NHTSA is the agency within the U.S. 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. In the Takata air bag recalls, NHTSA ordered the automakers to accelerate their repair programs to fix all affected vehicles as quickly as possible. This included phasing and prioritizing when the replacement parts are required to be available to consumers. 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.
NHTSA does not conduct recalls. The vehicle manufacturers issue and conduct recalls and report to NHTSA on how the recalls are going.
Among other things, in the Takata air bag recalls, NHTSA has:
Investigated Takata’s PSAN air bag inflators and successfully pressured Takata to recall the tens of millions of defective air bag inflators it sold.
Communicated with the vehicle manufacturers about the safety of their vehicles, appropriate prioritization of the vehicles, replacement-parts availability and timing, and the safety of the replacement parts being used.
Engaged in ongoing outreach with the vehicle manufacturers about the adequacy of the replacement program, each vehicle manufacturer’s efforts to encourage vehicle owners to bring vehicles in for repairs, communications strategies, and completion rates.
Communicated with the replacement parts suppliers to ensure that (1) the vehicle manufacturers were making adequate efforts to obtain replacement parts, and (2) the suppliers had sufficient production capacity to build enough replacement parts to meet the deadlines NHTSA has established.
Coordinated closely with the Independent Monitor for Takata and the Coordinated Remedy to conduct data analysis of recall repair programs, assess innovative outreach and repair techniques including door-to-door canvassing, and monitor and assess each vehicle manufacturer’s efforts to repair vehicles within the timelines NHTSA established. The Independent Monitor engages in extensive outreach with the vehicle manufacturers to assist them in implementing effective repair programs and, to that end, has provided several “Recommendations” documents on specific topics intended to aid the vehicle manufacturers in improving recall completion rates.
Conducted all routine recall oversight activities including review of first-class mail owner notification letters, review and monitoring of recall filings and related documents, and coordination with the vehicle manufacturers for changes in recall campaigns (including amendments, consolidations, and other administrative issues related to each recall).
                      
            I got something in the mail about the Takata bankruptcy and/or the class action lawsuit, but I’m not sure what it is. Is it legitimate? What am I supposed to do?
              There are several mailings that have been sent to consumers in the Takata bankruptcy case and the class action lawsuits. These notices are not part of the recall efforts and NHTSA does not have any control over the notices. However, if you received one of these mailings, you probably own, or previously owned, a vehicle that has been or is scheduled to be recalled because of the defective air bag inflator.
**These legal notices do not impact your ability to obtain a free recall repair. You do not need to take any further action to obtain a recall repair other than contacting your dealer to set up a repair appointment once parts are available. Your vehicle manufacturer is required to send you a letter letting you know when parts are available.**
Please note that although the **bankruptcy notice** tells consumers to contact a dealer for a free repair, repair parts are not currently available for all vehicles.
If you have already received a letter from your vehicle manufacturer indicating parts are available for your vehicle, you should immediately contact your dealer to schedule a free repair.
If you have not yet received a letter from your vehicle manufacturer indicating repair parts are available for your vehicle, before calling your dealer, first look up your VIN to see if your vehicle is under recall. If your vehicle is under recall, check NHTSA’s Priority Group list to find the Priority Group your vehicle is in. Unless an extension has been granted, vehicle manufacturers are required to have repair parts available for each Priority Group on the following schedule:
**Priority Group - Sufficient Supply & Remedy Launch Deadlines**
Priority Group 1 - March 31, 2016
Priority Group 2 - September 30, 2016
Priority Group 3 - December 31, 2016
Priority Group 4 - March 31, 2017
Priority Group 5 - June 30, 2017
Priority Group 6 - September 30, 2017
Priority Group 7 - December 31, 2017
Priority Group 8 - March 31, 2018
Priority Group 9 - June 30, 2018
Priority Group 10 - March 31, 2019
Priority Group 11 - March 31, 2020
Priority Group 12 - September 30, 2020If you need help figuring out when your vehicle manufacturer is required to have parts available to fix your vehicle, call the NHTSA hotline at 888-327-4236. NHTSA does not have any information for the public about the bankruptcy proceedings.
Separately, several vehicle manufacturers have sent, or will be sending, notices to their vehicle owners in the class action cases. Whether or not your vehicle is impacted by the **class action** has no impact on your right to obtain a free recall repair. Information on these **class action** settlements can be found at www.autoairbagsettlement.com. NHTSA is not involved in the **class action** cases and does not have any information for the public.

                  Schedule of Recalls
          
          
    
  
       
  After consultation with the affected vehicle manufacturers and Takata, NHTSA prioritized the recall of Takata air bag inflators based on the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants. As the chart below shows, recalls are phased by the location and age of the vehicles. This schedule is designed to ensure that vehicles that pose the greatest risk are fixed immediately while others are replaced before they may become dangerous. The phased recalls began in May 2016 and continued through December 2019.

  Any vehicle recall is serious and affects safety. All vehicle owners should:
		 
  Check for recalls at least twice a year using the Recalls Lookup Tool.Sign up for Recall Alerts to be informed of any future recall. If your vehicle is recalled you should be contacted by the manufacturer. Signing up for Recall Alerts is a good backup plan, particularly if you purchased your vehicle used.Make sure that your vehicle’s registration includes your correct, current address so that your vehicle manufacturer can reach you if your vehicle is recalled for any reason.

  To help you see the progress vehicle manufacturers are making in replacing affected air bags, we are providing more comprehensive recall completion data. Please note that these are dynamic data and will continue to fluctuate as repairs are made and previously announced recall campaigns launch on a rolling basis under the coordinated remedy program. Recall completion rates vary by auto manufacturer.**Understanding our data**The propellant in the inflators breaks down after long-term exposure to high temperature fluctuations and humidity. This breakdown can cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating too much pressure for the inflator, and in extreme cases the inflator explodes, shooting shrapnel toward vehicle occupants.Using this information, the agency prioritized the recall of air bag inflators based on the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.The recalls are phased by the location of the vehicles and their age. Generally, the vehicles in the highest danger zones and that are the oldest, are in the first priority group. The second priority group includes the vehicles that are not yet in the Priority Group One danger category, but are the second-highest risk group, and so on through the levels of risk based, largely, on inflator age. The schedule for recalls has been set to make sure that vehicles are recalled before the propellant in the inflator will break-down to the point of becoming dangerous.Our data tables show data from all 12 Priority Groups that NHTSA previously identified. NHTSA will update the tables as additional data become available.NHTSA will only post the last set of verifiable data from each manufacturer. For the website update of March 25, 2024, the data for all OEMs are current through March 8, 2024. Note that at present, recall completion rates for 13 OEMs (BMW, Daimler Vans, FCA, Ford, GM, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, and VW) reflect their approved use of the “other” category for specific campaigns.

 
  View the data*The chart above shows net-air-bags-remaining percentages for priority groups 1 – 12. Those priority groups are included in this chart because vehicle manufacturers have submitted verifiable underlying data for those priority groups relevant to this chart. In addition to net air bags remaining, this chart specifies the percentage of dispositioned air bags as approved by NHTSA, specifically vehicles determined to have been scrapped, stolen, or exported from the U.S. jurisdiction; vehicles that have had aftermarket modification or that are degraded such that the remedy cannot be completed; and vehicles for which the owner has been nonresponsive to or affirmatively refused the recall remedy outreach. The data in this chart begins in 2022 when NHTSA added several of these reporting categories: nonresponsive, affirmative refusal, aftermarket modification and vehicle degradation. Before a vehicle manufacturer can submit to these categories, they must send a request to NHTSA. If requests are approved, the data in this chart will be updated. Not all vehicle manufacturers have been approved for or submitted requests for these categories. More detailed definitions of these categories can be found under the**source data**.*

Those priority groups are included in this chart because vehicle manufacturers have submitted verifiable underlying data for those priority groups relevant to this chart. Vehicle manufacturers with more than two brands affected by the recalls are listed under the parent manufacturer. They are: Chrysler (Dodge, Ram, and Jeep), Ford (Mercury and Lincoln), General Motors (Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn), and Toyota (Lexus and Scion).*

Those priority groups are included in this chart because vehicle manufacturers have submitted verifiable underlying data for those priority groups relevant to this chart. Vehicle manufacturers with more than two brands affected by the recalls are listed under the parent manufacturer. They are: Chrysler (Dodge, Ram, and Jeep), Ford (Mercury and Lincoln), General Motors (Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn), and Toyota (Lexus and Scion). Ford's data reported on February 15, 2019, reflects an adjustment to the reporting of final repairs on vehicles that previously received an interim repair. These final repairs are now being reported separately in priority groups 11 and 12 in accordance with the ACRO. Prior to this, some vehicles that received both an interim and subsequent final repair may have had both repairs counted in priority groups 1 – 4.*

Some manufacturers have been able to report specific counts of vehicles that are no longer in use (or are “out of transit”). Where that is the case, the recalled population has been reduced by those counts in order to depict a more accurate recall completion figure, and to support manufacturers allocating resources to targeting vehicles that are still in use on U.S. roadways. The recalls to which this adjustment has been made are identified below. Please note that there are inherent delays between the time an individual car is repaired, when repair status is reported to the manufacturer, and when the status is then reported to NHTSA. The information displayed, therefore, generally represents a conservative account of actual recall completion rates. In addition, each individual recall has its own unique history, which makes it difficult to compare completion rates between recalls and between manufacturers. For example, some recalls include vehicles that have been under recall for many years, whereas as others reflect recalls that have only just started, or have only started in a discrete geographic area due to parts restrictions.
