Takata Driver Air Bag Inflator Recall for Honda and Nissan Vehicles

Honda and Nissan are recalling vehicles with Takata driver air bag inflators that may explode during deployment, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect may result in serious injury or death, and the defect involves a structural vehicle component (air bag inflator) that may explode.

Plain-English summary

Honda and Nissan are recalling vehicles manufactured with Takata Corporation PSDI-5D driver air bag inflators. The recall addresses a manufacturing error that may cause the air bag inflator to not function properly or to explode in the event of a crash that necessitates driver air bag deployment.

An explosion of the inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger, or other occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Takata will work with affected OEMs to replace the driver frontal air bag module free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2020. Owners may contact Takata customer service at 1-248-373-8040 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
