affect airbags with the fault. If you are involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle. It is important that you contact [vehicle manufacturer], [directly on Supplier's designated phone number if possible/applicable, or] through their local dealer [or on website – insert webpage information] to arrange to have the airbag replaced before it reaches 6 years old.
                   Please take note that any replacement airbag installed in your vehicle following a collision or other incident may also be faulty.  It is important that you contact a [vehicle type] dealer to arrange for the airbag to be checked and replaced, if faulty.

                   You should keep this letter with your vehicle records. If you sell or give your vehicle to another driver before replacing the airbag, please provide them with a copy of this letter and encourage them to contact the dealer directly to update the owner contact details for the vehicle."
(d)           An example of a clear, simple message to a Consumer with a Vehicle that is having an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator replaced with another Affected Takata Airbag Inflator is:
                   "We have removed the faulty [driver side and/or passenger side] Takata [airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable] from your vehicle, and have replaced it with a newer Takata [driver side and/or passenger side airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable].  The replacement [airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable] is safe at this time, but it also has a fault that will make it unsafe in the future.  The replacement [airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable], however, must be replaced [as soon as possible after the Supplier initiates active recall of the inflator, specifying either the applicable future date or, if the Recall Initiation Schedule is not yet available, referring the Consumer to the Supplier's website and noting that the Recall Initiation Schedule will be published there].
                   It is very important for your safety that the [airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable] be replaced again by that time. If it is not replaced by that time, and the vehicle is involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle.
                   We will contact you to arrange for the replacement before the [airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable] becomes unsafe.  If your contact details change, please make sure to let us know, so that we can contact you to arrange replacement.
                   You should keep this letter with your vehicle records. If you sell or give your vehicle to another driver before replacing the [airbag /airbag inflator, as applicable],
