FCA adds 4M vehicles to Takata airbag recall
1780
Fiat Chrysler Cars has enlarged its Takata recall effort to contain over four million automobiles sold in the US marketplace.
Following Takata's acknowledgment of a security flaw in about 34 million automobiles from different automakers, FCA has issued a new effort to set up a fresh dual-stage air-bag inflator in some of versions. The matter will be handled as a national recall, as opposed to focusing on areas with large absolute humidity. The faulty part, referred to as the PSDI 4, are available in a variety of Ram trucks in the 2004 through 2010 model-years, combined with the 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen; the 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, 300C, SRT-8, Dodge Charger and Magnum; the 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota; and the 2006-2010 Mitsubishi Raider."In case of a crash necessitating installation of the motorist's frontal airbag, the inflator could rupture with alloy fragments hitting and possibly severely injuring the driver or other occupants," the recall records note. The firm mentions at least one failure in the area, which led to "non-lifethreatening accidents," and one failure from an inflator that has been pulled from a Florida car and put through laboratory evaluations.
