More Models Added to Takata Airbag Recall

More vehicles have been identified in the massive Takata airbag recall.

Automakers along with federal officials have announced a new batch of affected vehicles that fall under the large 17 million vehicle recall expansion that was announced last week. Of those 17 million, only about 5.3 million specific nameplates have been identified. In total, about 34 million vehicles are affected by the issue.

Three companies have been identified in this announcement: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), Honda and BMW (see the full list of affected vehicles below).

Roughly 4.5 million of the additional vehicles come from FCA, the majority of which are trucks and SUVs. Model years range from 2003 to 2011. In total, FCA has now recalled 5.2 million vehicles globally over the issue.

From BMW, 420,000 vehicles have been added to the list, all of which range from the 2002 to 2006 model year.

Finally, Honda has tacked on about 350,000 cars ranging from the 2006 to 2007 model year. Honda says it is likely that more of its cars will be added to the list, though it may take a few weeks to sort through which models are included.

Last week, Takata admitted that at least 34 million vehicles were equipped with faulty airbags in the U.S. after being pressure by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In the affected cars, the airbags can go off with too much force, causing the inflator to explode which can hurl shrapnel at the occupants. The root cause of the issue is still unknown.

The recall will likely take years to fully complete, with regulators saying that it is the largest product recall in U.S. history.
