Takata Recall!

[Burla]

tacata recall will have Rams as well

This will likely be one of the largest cluster F__Ks of all time. 34 million vehicles and counting, all major vehicle brands 12 and counting. Stay tuned and keep informed, if this happens to you it looks like you were stabbed as said by the police who have witnessed some of the deaths. Put your VIN in the link and see if it affects you. Now up to model years 2011, but I bet it will go past that as well.

are to no other manufactures? 34 million seems like they nearly have a monopoly on air bags

 

[Burla]

They are number 4 in the world in air bags. The recall is over 11 years, probably represents somewhere around 25% of every vehicle sold in the US in those 11 years,

Heard about this a few days ago and they said it was just nissan and toyota. Not 12+ brands. That's crazy... Dealerships are going to be slammed.

Gonna Take Years to get Done, maybe closer to a decade.

a lot happened. consumers wanted lower prices and companies wanted higher profits so they found a way to get both with cheap labour. on top of that unions have strayed from their original purpose and now focus on bleeding companies dry which has only pushed companies even more towards finding cheap labour

Latest report on the news was a minimum of 2 years, working at "x" number of cars per day, every day. I didn't catch what the "x" number was.

Doesn't just effect vehicle owners, Us in the Fire world like to know these things cause it presents a danger for us to with accidents that have un-deployed air bags. I'm going to have to do some research to what specific models are on this list to keep aware of on car accidents.

You are pointing the wrong finger at that FOOL.

 

[Andy578]

it started long long before he came along and he's pretty powerless to force any changes now

 

[Burla]

It goes back to Clinton, but it was the Repubs that did it. It was called NAFTA and since they passed it, we have lost 1/2 of our manufacturing jobs and created China as a super power.

I just like the blame obama for everything. It was satire.. lol

 

[pickupman66]

I put my 2009 VIn into the page. it is NOT listed under this recall.

 

[BlownGP]

Neither is my 09. At least not yet. lol

 

[Bob2013Ram1500]

Just entered mine and no recall for me. At least I know I am safe for the weekend.

 

[Burla]

They just expanded it to the 34 million number, I wouldn't feel safe at all. I would keep checking to the point where the dealer can tell you diffidently your truck wont be recalled.

The number is like somewhere out of 130 or so air bag deployments, you can get shrapnel in your face and neck in one of those. Chances are you are ok, but if you are one of those guys who have chit for luck like me, contact your dealer.
