The U.S. government, with the help of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA and&nbsp;Department of Transportation, DOT has been helping millions of U.S. vehicle owners of these defective airbags in 19 affected automakers like Honda, Toyota, Ford etc. They have issued an amended order to continue the acceleration of recall repairs that is responsible for 11 deaths and approximately 180 injuries in the United States. <blockquote>“The Department of Transportation is maintaining its aggressive oversight of the efforts to recall Takata air bags as quickly as possible,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “The amended order will speed up the availability of replacement air bags, and continues to prioritize the highest risk vehicles to protect the traveling public.”</blockquote><blockquote>“NHTSA is doing everything possible to make sure that there are no more preventable injuries or deaths because of these dangerous air bag inflators,” said NHTSA Administrator Dr. Mark Rosekind. “All vehicle owners should regularly check their vehicles for recalls at SaferCar.gov and go get them fixed at no cost as soon as replacement parts are available.”</blockquote> In the United States alone, there are currently 46 million recalled Takata air bag inflators in 29 million vehicles. These vehicles are not supposed to be on the roads in the first place because they possess potential safety risks to the&nbsp;general public. This figure is exclusive of the Takata recalls that currently cover frontal inflators. They do not include a recall for chemical desiccant that absorbs moisture.<h2>Bhurtel Law Firm on Takata Airbag Defect</h2>We have more than 15 years of experience&nbsp;and provide both domestic and international legal counseling.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DEFECT IN YOUR VEHICLE SEAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES IN VEHICLE ACCIDENTS?

Uber and Lyft are very good vehicle ride sharing application. They make a difference in people’s life and make it better. There is no doubt about that. But, we also need to think about safety in an event of what could go wrong with it. The vehicles that are in operation with these ride-sharing applications needs to be regulated with safety being the number one priority in anyone’s mind. There are too many recalls on vehicles in general and the vehicles that are approved for these ride-sharing application&nbsp;needs to be free of these potentially dangerous&nbsp;recalls such as Takata airbag recalls. What happens if the vehicle got in a&nbsp;wreck and the safety system in the vehicle didn’t&nbsp;protect the drivers and the occupants of the vehicle because there was an active recall on the safety systems such as Airbag, Seat-belts, Seat, Tyres, Fuel Systems, Windshields&nbsp;etc. Self-driving&nbsp;cars could save many lives. More and more people are dying in vehicle accidents every passing year. The autonomous vehicle could play a significant role in drastically reducing the fatalities in vehicle accidents. Until these vehicles could make a difference in people’s life, ride-sharing applications like Uber and Lyft with manual drivers are going to very important part in keeping the safety intact with proper regulation in place.<h2>Check the vehicle before you request you next Uber or Lyft:</h2>&nbsp;<ul><li>Click this link:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls#vehicle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(27, 48, 88); background-color: transparent;">https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls#vehicle</a></li><li>Enter the vehicle Year Make and Model Example: 2013 Toyota Rav4&nbsp;</li></ul> Please take notice that this is not a legal advice.
