I worked at a honda dealership during this time and i replaced crazy amounts of these. I would have days and days of just these replacements to the point it felt like an assembly line work. Something alot of people dont realize is that we had to send all the old ones back and they all had special paperwork because your basically messing with a mini claymore mine and they had to be disposed of properly. The logistics was insane. Honda basically started an airbag factory just to handle thier load.

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
