TAKATA Air Bag Recall Expands Further with Dodge, RAM, Chrysler

[68X426]

The Takata Air Bag recall has been expanding all thru summer and fall of 2017. A larger list of Chrysler vehicles just keeps growing. Takata and Chrysler are many many months behind notifying car owners.

My 2013 Challenger has been added to the recall, and the list now includes 2014 Challengers. More RAMs were added (not yet up to my model 2014 however).

This news site appears to be the most recent published comprehensive list: http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/news/takata-airbag-recall-list-cars-article-1.2602999. That list is from late August 2017. I can't find a more current one in print. Which is why the recall site above is critical to use to search your VIN.

My daughter's 2007 Mustang has Takada air bags. I just received a formal notice that the company is going bankrupt under chapter 11. I am trying to find out what that means for repairs, but it COULD mean that ultimately WE may need to pay for the repairs. If you have a car with one, be the squeaky wheel and to your dealer to get it fixed.

I've got the 06 Daytona scheduled for the recall. FCA has sent at least 10 notices, and left several phone messages. It's both sides now. Wanted to wait until it is routine for the Dealer (from Hell) so they don't mess up the dash. Challenger is next.

I'll have to go check ALL the vehicles again to make sure one hasn't been added. I also received a notice about my dishwasher last week, power cord can overheat.

I have received the recall notice for a couple of Police chargers I bought and parted. Received the chapter 11 notice the other day. From what I have heard from owners of other vehicles that have been impacted by this is that even before the CH11 notification the dealers where telling people we will call you when the parts come in. I have one friend with a hyundai that was impacted and he has been waiting 8 month at this point. Non of the dealerships have any parts to replace the faulty ones. Since this impacts multiple manufacturers this whole thing could end up getting uglier than the VW scandal.

My daughter's 2007 Mustang has Takada air bags.

My 2007 Ranger was under the recall. Ford kept sending me letters to get it fixed (for no cost), but the dealer said parts are not available over and over.

I called Ford and finally got a customer rep to eventually get the parts to the dealer.

Reminds me of Lee Iacocca's 1985 book; 'bombs do not belong in the dashboard of cars' was his opinion of airbags.

I kept getting the recall notices also.

This thread prompted me to call and get mine scheduled. Thanks.

We'll see how long it takes.
