autotel:
Auto recalls are now on the increase. As every day we hear about one or more manufacturers recall their vehicles for various reasons.
Kindly post here if you have any very useful information about auto recalls.

For example it was on the news on 22nd February, 2016 that Takata the major Airbag manufacturer may be forced to recall up 90 million airbag inflators in the USA.
This is mostly because about 120 million Takata inflators in the USA contain the same volatile amonium nitrate.
Amonium Nitrate inflators have been observed to explode in high humidity environments. And due to poor shield from moisture, these inflators from Takata have been very popular for premature explosion.
However, it doesn't end with that, another error in some of their design is that the airbag does not only deploy when not expected and unneeded, it is also accompanied by metal shrapnels which have been recorded to slit the driver's throat.
I think we just got to be careful to not buy Takata airbag vehicles.

Yes, please lets discuss more on recalls as we may be saving somebody's life and money!!!
