The AAA issued a notice to drivers Friday to check their vehicles for recalls after Honda recently issued a “do not drive” warning for vehicles that haven’t received repairs for Takata Alpha air bag inflators.
“Ignoring Takata air bag recall notices can have fatal consequences,” the Northeast AAA said in a news release to multiple news outlets Friday. “Last June, a 2006 Ford Ranger owner in Florida was killed in a minor crash when an unrepaired Takata air bag inflator exploded. That vehicle was subject to a ‘Do Not Drive’ warning at the time of the crash and Ford Motor Company said that more than 100 recall notices were mailed to the owner and a representative visited the owner in person.”
