🧠 The Timeline At A Glance:
2008: Honda issues the first U.S. recall (~4,000 Accords/Civics) for rupture-risk inflators.
2009: Fatalities in Oklahoma and Virginia underscore the danger; early evidence surfaces.
2013–2015: Global recalls cascade—Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, BMW and more; parts shortages and dealer backlogs.
2015–2017: NHTSA fines escalate; civil penalties and a $1B criminal resolution; Takata pleads guilty and later files bankruptcy.
2019–2024: New alerts and Do Not Drive warnings keep coming; completion rates lag, millions may remain unrepaired.
🧪 The Science (Plain English):
Takata used ammonium nitrate propellant inside a metal inflator. Heat and humidity can destabilize its crystals over time, spiking pressure and causing the inflator can to burst—sending metal fragments into the cabin. Manufacturing and sealing quality also mattered, increasing risk in hot, humid regions.
✅ Your 2‑Minute Safety Checklist:
1) Find your VIN (windshield base or driver-door jamb, 17 characters).
2) Go to nhtsa.gov/recalls or your automaker’s site; enter the VIN.
3) If there’s an open recall, call your dealer and schedule—repairs are free by law.
