… [BMW] has just issued a warning for thousands of consumers who have purchased some of its models. The car manufacturer is asking owners of 90,000 BMW models from 2000 to 2006 not to drive these vehicles anymore, because they are equipped with dangerous, defective airbags manufactured by the Japanese equipment manufacturer Takata.*

"BMW has issued a 'Do Not Drive' warning today," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a notice. "Owners of these vehicles should park them immediately and contact BMW for more information."*

Got a notice that my 2023 may have a defective airbag and that I may get a notice that I do have a defective airbag.

I had thought the Takata issue was sorted out years ago.

The newest one under the recall is 2015 and most are pre-2012. Not a large number of vehicles still on the road, I imagine.

So did I.
The mail system here is so bad it was covered by NBC. If a notice of a recall is sent I might not get it.

Some years ago I had to get mine replaced under recall on a 2013 Honda.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

I had to have my Corolla's Takata airbag replaced a few years ago.

Worse still, is it possible that a new vehicle like CHAS' 2023 was sold with such an airbag?



Or is CHAS making a punny? (But if so, how come that particular year?)

I knew a pair of brass players who considered adopting the stage name “Dual Airbags.”
