The most tragic recall in the world was the one involving the airbags produced by the Japanese Takata. Because when ejected in the event of an accident, they destroy the steel tube where they are accommodated and throw shrapnel at the driver and passengers at 300 km per hour.

More than 100 million cars of many brands around the world have been recalled, as they received these Takata airbags with dozens of injuries and many deaths, including in Brazil, where millions of cars still run with these airbags not taken for recall.

Check with the factory’s 0800 if your car is not included.
