Timeline of NHTSA Deeds
Pursuant to the Amended Consent Order schedule, Takata files a scheduled defect notice (Two of Five), expanding the population of defective inflators. The affected vehicle manufacturers also file defect notices for their affected vehicles. In total, approximately forty six million inflators have been recalled in approximately thirty four million vehicles in the United States.
Based on fresh Takata test data, undertaken pursuant to NHTSA’s Consent Order, Takata files a defect notice recalling—for the very first time—inflators that contain a desiccant (the PSDI-5 desiccated inflator made with calcium sulfate desiccant). Approximately three million Ford, Mazda, and Nissan vehicles contain the part. Nissan files a defect notice for all of its affected vehicles (approximately 515,000). Ford and Mazda each file defect notices for all of their affected vehicles, respectively, which include notice of intent to file Petitions for Inconsequentiality. Under NHTSA regulations, the companies have thirty days to file their respective petitions.
Ruptures of the Takata inflators have been tied to twelve deaths and more than two hundred injuries in the United States.
This expansion does not recall all desiccated inflators. Takata used several propellant-desiccant combinations in their PSAN inflators and, at this time, only one combination in this particular inflator variant (the PSDI-5 desiccated inflator) shows the problem that causes ruptures.
NHTSA issues an Amended Coordinated Remedy Order incorporating the seven extra vehicle manufacturers affected by the Takata recalls, further prioritizing remedy launch and completion deadlines to reduce the risk of rupture, and refining the vehicle manufacturers’ obligations for carrying out the recalls. The Coordinated Remedy Program now includes all nineteen vehicle manufacturers affected in the U.S. and prioritizes vehicles into twelve priority groups, with all remedy programs set to launch by September 30, 2020:
Priority Group – Sufficient Supply & Remedy Launch Deadlines
Priority Group one – March 31, 2016
Priority Group two – September 30, 2016
Priority Group three – December 31, 2016
Priority Group four – March 31, 2017
Priority Group five – June 30, 2017
Priority Group six – September 30, 2017
Priority Group seven – December 31, 2017
Priority Group eight – March 31, 2018
Priority Group nine – June 30, 2018
Priority Group ten – March 31, 2019
Priority Group eleven – March 31, 2020
Priority Group twelve – September 30, 2020
The United States Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expanding and accelerating the recall of Takata air bag inflators. The decision goes after the agency’s confirmation of the root cause behind the inflators’ propensity to rupture. Ruptures of the Takata inflators have been tied to ten deaths and more than one hundred injuries in the United States. (UPDATED NUMBERS AVAILABLE! See the July two thousand seventeen timeline entry.)
Under the Amended Consent Order issued to Takata this week, the company is required to make a series of safety defect decisions that will support vehicle manufacturer recall campaigns of an extra estimated 35-40 million inflators, adding to the already 28.8 million inflators previously recalled. These expansions are planned to take place in phases inbetween May two thousand sixteen and December 2019. The expansions mean that all Takata ammonium nitrate-based propellant driver and passenger frontal air bag inflators without a chemical drying agent, also known as a desiccant, will be recalled.
Takata files the very first scheduled defect notice under the Amended Consent Order, and the affected vehicle manufacturers recall affected vehicles.
BMW has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will be incapable to meet its March thirty one deadline to acquire a sufficient supply of remedy parts for one of the Takata inflators under recall, as required by the November Three, 2015, Coordinated Remedy Order. The alternate inflator that BMW’s supplier had developed to substitute the defective Takata PSDI-4 driver-side air bag inflator failed during latest testing. In order to ensure that unsafe air bag inflators are substituted with safe ones, NHTSA is requiring BMW to acquire a sufficient supply no later than August 31, 2016, as detailed in this amendment. NHTSA’s priority proceeds to be ensuring that unsafe air bag inflators are substituted with safe ones.
BMW (Recall 16V-071), Daimler Vans (Recall 16V-077 – including Sprinter Vans labeled Mercedes-Benz, Dodge and Freightliner), Ford, Honda (including Acura), Mazda, Mercedes-Benz (Recall 16V-081 – including Chrysler), and Volkswagen (Recalls 16V-078 and 16V-079 – including Audi) have expanded their Takata recalls to include vehicles tooled with driver-side air bag inflators that Takata has announced defective. On January 22, NHTSA alerted consumers that these expansions were imminent. Ford and BMW have made Vehicle Identification Numbers searchable through NHTSA’s VIN look-up contraption, so owners can come in their VINs and see if their vehicles are under recall. Honda, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz will make affected VINs searchable in the coming days, and NHTSA will update this site as those VINs become available.
NHTSA on January twenty two announced fresh developments about defective Takata air bag inflators that will lead to extra vehicle recalls. Sadly the agency also announced the ninth U.S. fatality caused by a rupture of a Takata air bag inflator, and the tenth worldwide. The incident involved a two thousand six Ford Ranger that was involved in a crash in South Carolina in late December. Based on this incident, Takata has proclaimed certain SDI-model driver-side inflators to be defective, Recall 16E-006. In addition, NHTSA announced that Takata had announced certain PSDI-5 model inflators defective, after the rupture of four of those inflators that were recovered during a Toyota recall, Recall 16E-005. The agency estimates that these expanded recalls will affect toughly five million vehicles, and that vehicles made by Audi, BMW, Daimler Vans, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Saab and Volkswagen will be affected. An updated list of affected makes, models and model years will be made available as soon as NHTSA receives the information from affected automakers.
NHTSA has received the list of vehicles from Ford that are affected by the latest expansion of the Takata air bag recalls. The recall affects more than 360,000 Ford Ranger trucks from model years 2004-2006, Recall 16V-036. Ford has notified NHTSA that the vehicle identification numbers (VINs) included in these recalls are now available on NHTSA’s VIN look-up instrument or the manufacturer’s Web site, so consumers can use the VIN look-up to check if their vehicle is affected. If your vehicle is included in this recall, go after up with the manufacturer to get interim guidance.
NHTSA announced today that the rhythm of recall completion is accelerating rapidly for vehicles with defective Takata air bags. In the two-week period ending December Four, just over 950,000 vehicles have been repaired. To help oversee future progress, NHTSA selected John D. Buretta, a fucking partner at the law hard Cravath, Swain & Moore to serve as the Takata monitor. Mr. Buretta will be responsible for assisting the agency in providing significant oversight of both the coordinated remedy program and of Takata’s compliance with consent orders.
“NHTSA has selected John D. Buretta, playmate of the law rock-hard Cravath, Swaine & Moore and former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Department of Justice Criminal Division, to serve as independent monitor in the Takata recalls. Mr. Buretta was selected from a group of outstanding applicants, and he and his team bring tremendous practice in sophisticated corporate investigations. They will play a significant role in helping oversee Takata’s compliance with its obligations under NHTSA enforcement orders, and in implementing the Coordinated Remedy Program to accelerate and prioritize the largest, most complicated consumer safety effort in U.S. history.” – Mark Rosekind, NHTSA Administrator
The news comes as three automakers revise and expand their Takata passenger inflator recalls to include more model years, or extra vehicles and/or inflators from model years affected by existing recalls (including driver air bag recalls). The expansions are the result of Takata ballistic testing conducted over latest months. Consumers are urged to check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for open recalls and to contact their local dealer to schedule repairs.
Sadly the agency also announces the eighth U.S. fatality likely caused by a rupture of a Takata air bag inflator, and the ninth worldwide. Albeit yet to be confirmed by the manufacturer, the incident involved a model year two thousand one vehicle that spent most of it service life in the high absolute humidity (HAH) region and had been under recall for many years. The fatality was the result of a driver air bag rupture, as has been the case for all known fatalities.
Vehicles affected by revised passenger recalls:
2005-2008 Mazda Mazda6
2002-2004 Honda CR-V
2005-2008 Subaru Legacy and Outback
NHTSA Seeks Applicants for Takata Monitorship
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, invites applications from qualified persons to serve as the independent monitor (the “Monitor”) under the terms of the November Three, 2015, Consent Order inbetween NHTSA and TK Holdings Inc. and the terms of the November Three, 2015, Coordinated Remedy Order issued by NHTSA. The duties and responsibilities of the Monitor are set forward in the Consent Order and Coordinated Remedy Order. For details on how to apply, click here. To be considered for the position, applicants must submit all required documentation no later than November 30, 2015.
Press Conference on the Coordinated Remedy Proceeding and Takata Air Bags
To protect the American public from certain defective air bag inflators supplied by Takata, NHTSA ordered all twelve vehicle manufacturers to accelerate recall repairs and prioritize vehicles to reduce the risk of rupture under a Coordinated Remedy Order. Completion deadlines for fixing the nineteen million vehicles under recall will begin in two thousand seventeen and end in 2019. Under a NHTSA Consent Order, Takata has agreed to Federal oversight for the next five years, to phase out the use of the propellant believed to be related to the air bag inflator ruptures, and to pay record civil penalties up to $200 million. Extra information and a movie of the announcement is available here.
NHTSA Updates List of All Makes and Models Affected by Takata Air Bag Recalls
Based on the latest information from vehicle manufacturers, NHTSA has updated the list of vehicles (by model year, make and model) affected by the Takata air bag recalls. Consumers can use NHTSA’s VIN look-up implement to see if their Vehicle Identification Number matches one of the approximately nineteen million vehicles from twelve auto manufacturers involved in the recall.
Public Information Meeting: The Coordinated Remedy Proceeding on Recalled Takata Inflators
On Thursday, October 22, 2015, NHTSA held a public information meeting on the recalls of Takata air bag inflators and the Coordinated Remedy Program Proceeding. During the meeting, NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind and representatives from NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Division updated the public on the safety risks associated with certain Takata air bag inflators, steps the Federal government and the auto industry are taking to address those risks, challenges to repairing vehicles quickly and measures the public can take to protect themselves. Administrator Rosekind made it clear that NHTSA’s aim is a safe air bag in every vehicle in the United States, and he urged everyone to use NHTSA’s VIN lookup instrument to determine if their vehicle is under one of the Takata recalls or any other safety recall. He also explained that NHTSA is considering a number of steps that could accelerate repairs and ensure that the inflators that present the greatest safety risk get substituted very first. A decision on next steps will be announced later next month. A movie of the meeting, as well as the presentations given and extra information is available in the timeline.
Public Information Meeting: The Coordinated Remedy Proceeding on Recalled Takata Inflators
NHTSA’s public information meeting on Takata air bag inflator recalls and the Coordinated Remedy Program Proceeding will take place Thursday, October 22, 2015, at ten a.m. EST. During the meeting, NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind and representatives from NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Division will update the public on the safety risks associated with certain Takata air bag inflators, steps the Federal government and the auto industry are taking to address those risks, and measures the public can take to protect themselves. Event material, including a movie of the webcast, movies from the presentation, the meeting agenda, and FAQs about the recalled inflators, are available in the timeline.
NHTSA Updates List of All Makes and Models Affected by Takata Air Bag Recalls
NHTSA has updated the list of vehicles (by model year, make and model) affected by the Takata air bag recalls. Consumers can also use NHTSA’s VIN look-up implement to see if their Vehicle Identification Number matches one of the approximately nineteen million vehicles from twelve auto manufacturers involved in the recall.
NHTSA Issues Notice of Public Information Meeting on Takata Recall Proceedings
NHTSA announced that it will hold a public information meeting on Thursday, October 22, 2015, regarding coordinated remedy proceedings for Takata air bag recalls. The meeting will cover possible deeds that could aid in prioritizing, organizing, and phasing the numerous recalls to remedy defective Takata air bag inflators. Utter details of the meeting are available here.
“Millions of Americans are affected by Takata-related recalls, and this meeting will be an chance to provide the information we’ve gathered since launching the coordinated remedy proceeding in May. Helping the public understand the risks involved, what NHTSA and the auto industry are doing to address them, and how affected vehicle owners can take activity to protect themselves and their families is an essential element in removing defective air bags from our roads and upholding public safety.” – NHTSA Administrator, Mark Rosekind.
NHTSA resumes to probe the possible establishment of a Coordinated Remedy Program to address defective Takata air bag inflators and ensure that all affected vehicles have safe air bags as quickly as possible. NHTSA has consulted with all twelve affected vehicle manufacturers, as well as numerous air bag suppliers, to gather information on inflator supplies, risk factors, and the fattest obstacles to substituting defective inflators. NHTSA intends to hold an event in the fall to permit public discussion of these efforts, and may issue a Coordinated Remedy Program plan that would ensure that the greatest safety risks are addressed very first and that every defective inflator is substituted with a safe one as soon as possible. NHTSA’s current estimate of the number of defective inflators installed in U.S. vehicles is 23.Four million, somewhat lower than earlier estimates of more than thirty million. This revised estimate is based on the most latest and accurate information provided by the affected automakers, and includes approximately four million vehicles that have already been repaired. Approximately four million vehicles have defective inflators in both driver- and passenger-side air bags.
NHTSA has also finished its own initial testing of Takata inflators, designed as a check on the validity of test results from Takata and other sources. Preliminary results are broadly consistent with data from Takata, including Takata’s findings on the risk associated with vehicles from high-humidity geographic areas.
NHTSA is also investigating the latest rupture of a Takata-made seat-mounted side air bag, as well as failures of side air bag inflators in testing. NHTSA is assessing information on this issue and will take whatever deeds are necessary to protect public safety. NHTSA is continuing its investigation into possible violations of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act involving defective Takata inflators. Investigating potential violations of law, and holding manufacturers accountable for such violations, is an essential device in NHTSA’s mission to protect American consumers from defective products. If NHTSA determines there are violations of the Safety Act, the agency will use its enforcement contraptions to ensure accountability.
As required under the May eighteen Consent Order, Takata has provided to NHTSA proposed plans for testing and reporting on the safety of the defect remedy and service life of parts, and for maximizing recall completion rates.

Frequently Asked Questions on Takata Recalls
NHTSA understands that consumers want to know what to do and what to expect if their car is affected by the Takata air bag recalls. NHTSA has compiled answers to many frequently asked questions regarding the recalls, and the agency will proceed to update this site as more information and details become available.
NHTSA Issues Notice of Intent
On May 22, 2015, the Federal Register published NHTSA’s notice of intent to begin a formal process to coordinate and accelerate the repair of millions of vehicles that have defective Takata air bags. Publishing the notice is the very first step in a process designed to ensure that every vehicle in America has safe air bags as quickly as possible. You can find the official online publication on the Federal Register Web site.
U.S. DOT Announces National Recall of Takata Air Bags
At the insistence of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Takata has determined that a defect exists in some of its air bag inflators. Takata has agreed to a national recall of certain types of frontal driver and passenger side air bag inflators used in vehicles manufactured by BMW, Chrysler, Daimler Trucks, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota. These inflators were made with a propellant that can degrade over time and has led to ruptures that have been blamed for six deaths worldwide. The act expands the number of vehicles to be recalled for defective Takata inflators to almost thirty four million (now estimated to be thirty two million).
NHTSA is waiting for the automakers to supply a finish list of affected vehicles. As this information becomes available, NHTSA will update this site to provide the American public with this information.
Once manufacturers identify which vehicles are affected, use NHTSA’s VIN search device to confirm whether your individual vehicle is under recall, and search by VIN on a specific vehicle-maker’s site . It’s significant to check periodically because it’s possible your VIN might not be entered into a manufacturer’s system for several weeks after a recall is very first announced. If your vehicle is affected, follow-up with the manufacturer to get interim guidance and get your vehicle immobile as soon as parts are available.
