Yet another recall action related to defective Takata airbags has been announced. Mazda said it is recalling 270,000 vehicles from the 2003 to 2008 model years because the front-passenger airbag could rupture if deployed, potentially injuring or killing a vehicle occupant.
If the problem sounds familiar, it's because millions of airbags made by Japanese company Takata were found to be potentially defective, leading to major recalls from many automakers. When the airbags are subject to too much humidity or "humidity cycling," the propellant inside them can degrade. That can make the airbags explode with too much force, which can send pieces of metal shrapnel toward car occupants.
