Daimler to recall 840,000 US vehicles over airbag concerns

Frankfurt

GERMAN carmaker Daimler said on Tuesday that it would recall 840,000 US vehicles with Takata airbag inflators that could be defective, a step that would result in a charge of 340 million euros (S$532.5 million).

Daimler said it had decided to recall approximately 705,000 Mercedes-Benz cars and about 136,000 Daimler vans. It did not immediately respond to a question about which models are being recalled.
