Sadly, over 3 million vehicles have been recalled due to airbag defects since 1997. That’s about 120,000 each year if divided evenly. The issues are also spread across a wide array of auto manufacturers. Approximately 50 different manufacturers have recalled at least one of their models for defective airbags. Some of these popular vehicle brands include General Motors, Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, and BMW.
