Drivers face confusion in US vehicle recall over airbag defect
Carmakers are still sorting out which cars need to be included in the 34m vehicles to be recalled
New York
WHEN millions of Americans woke up on Wednesday morning to go to work, many asked themselves a simple question: Is my car safe to drive?
A day earlier, Takata, the Japanese maker of airbags, agreed to double to 34 million the number of vehicles in the US that needed to be recalled. The vehicles may contain airbags that can explode violently when they deploy, sending pieces of metal flying into the cabin. Six deaths have been linked to the problem.
