The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday that certain car owners should “act immediately” to replace defective Takata airbags, affecting 4.7 million vehicles.
The agency said in a statement that certain models including Toyota, Honda, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, and General Motors were involved, adding that owners instates such as Florida, Puerto Rico and Hawaii were among a list of priority.
Toyota Motor Corp recalled 247,000 cars, SUVs and pickup trucks in the United States on Monday because of potentially defective front passenger air bag inflators from Japan’s Takata Corp that can rupture and spray metal shrapnel, according to U.S. safety regulators.
