What is wrong
Takata (TK Global LLC) is recalling certain Non-Azide driver-side air bag inflators (NADI). Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to explode or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
What can happen
During air bag deployment, an inflator explosion may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag may not properly protect the occupant. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of serious injury or death.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Takata will work with the affected vehicle manufacturers who have filed their own recalls, and their dealers will replace the inflators, free of charge.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
