The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a recall of 2.1 million Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda vehicles to correct issues associated with a defect that results in an unintentional deployment of airbags when there is no car accident.
This is actually the second time these vehicles have been recalled for this defect. The first recall occurred between 2012 and 2014, but as many as 40 of these vehicles have been reported to still exhibit the defect after the initial recall. As a result, this new recall was initiated for precautionary measures.
The new recall covers the following vehicle models:
- Acura MDX
- Dodge Viper
- Jeep Grand Cherokee
- Jeep Liberty
- Honda Odyssey
- Pontiac Vibe
- Toyota Corolla
- Toyota Matrix
- Toyota Avalon
Vehicle owners will be notified of the recall shortly. You can learn more information by contacting your local dealer.
