IF YOUR CAR IS ON THIS LIST, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR MAIL, A RECALL LETTER SHOULD BE ISSUED TO YOU AND TAKE YOUR VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WILL DISABLE AIRBAGS UNTIL REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE. THE AIRBAGS IN THESE CARS ARE CAUSING DEATH AND SERIOUS INJURIES, DUE TO METAL EXPLODING FROM THE CANISTER THAT INFLATES THE AIRBAG, FLYING THROUGH THE AIR WHEN THEY ARE INFLATED.
NATIONAL HEALTH AND TRAFFIC SAFETY ASSOCIATION (NHTSA) IS URGING OWNERS TO TAKE VEHICLES IN TO DEALERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN CHECK SAFERCAR.GOV (NHTSA'S WEBSITE FOR MORE UPDATES, BUT LATELY THE SITE ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY, YOU CAN ALSO DO A VIN LOOKUP THERE TO CHECK TO SEE IF YOU CAR HAS ANY RECALLS NOT PERFORMED ON IT, ONCE THE SITE IS WORKING AGAIN. ) OTHERWISE JUST CHECK THE NEWS NIGHTLY, IT'S CHANGING DAILY ON NUMBERS OF CARS AND MANUFACTURERS INVOLVED.
HERE IS A LINK TO THE LATEST LIST AS OF 10/22/2014:

AIRBAG RECALLS

ABC evening news just reported that if your car is on the recall list and your dealer does not have a replacement airbag, they are going to put a sticker across your dashboard stating:

Do not sit in the passenger seat until the airbag is replaced.



WTF!
