Reply to comment by haveyouseenthebridge in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

Fuckin A I drive a 2008 Civic and this is the first I've heard of any of this shit. Although I don't recall ever receiving a letter from Honda so hopefully that's a good thing. Probably gonna look my car up just to be sure though.

I did get into an accident in a 2007 Civic and the airbags deployed, luckily no one's fucking neck was sliced open. Didn't think too much of it then, but fuck.

Take it to a Honda dealership and let them know you have an affected vehicle.
