A recall of Japanese-made airbags that can malfunction and injure people when deployed has expanded to now include as many as 12 million cars worldwide.
America's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration updated the list of vehicles included in the recall of Takata airbags by 3 million more cars, bringing the total to as much as 7.8 million in the U.S. alone.
The U.S. government is adding more than 3 million vehicles to a rare warning about faulty air bags that have the potential to kill or injure drivers or passengers in a crash, as they have been known to rupture and sometimes cause metal fragments to come flying out.
Safety advocates say at least four people have died from the problem and urge owners to bring their cars in to get repaired, especially in Florida and along the Gulf Coast because it's believed hot humid weather could be a factor. The warning covers many models from BMW, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota.
Some of the vehicles in the U.S. that have been recalled include:
- Toyota (778,177 vehicles) Models: 2002 to 2004 Lexus SC, 2003 to 2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix, 2002 to 2004 Toyota Sequoia, 2003 to 2004 Pontiac Vibe made for General Motors by Toyota.
