Reply to comment by Iron0ne 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

I don't think I was ever able to get mine fixed. Eventually traded the car in so it's someone else's problem now

These things are easily looked up via the cars VIN. It was sold to a big car dealer so they can deal with the "lack of available parts" to fix it.

Probably illegal. I don't think you can legally sell a car with a recall without fixing it. Or at least dealers
