According to a comprehensive foreign news report, Toyota Motor Corporation has announced that it has recalled 490,000 vehicles on a global scale. These vehicles are equipped with defective Takada airbags. In the Chinese market, involving 140,000 Lexus, it is almost equivalent to the brand's sales in China for one and a half years. So far, Takada Airbag has caused Toyota to recall a total of 17 million vehicles.
Toyota once again recalled Takata recalled on May 31, 2016, Toyota Motor issued a statement saying that it is recalling 490,000 vehicles worldwide, covering Japan, China, Europe and other regions. The above-mentioned vehicles were produced from 2005 to 2011 and equipped with passenger-side airbags manufactured by Takata Corporation of Japan. Due to defects in the inflator, there are hidden dangers of explosion and debris killing drivers.
Involved in various markets, the country with the most recalled vehicles is China, and Toyota recalled 140,000 Lexus IS, Lexus ES and Lexus GX models. According to a total of 88,000 new cars sold by Lexus in Greater China in 2015, the total number of vehicles recalled in China is 1.6 times that of last year. However, the recalled vehicle production time is between 2005 and 2011, not the latest model.
In Japan, Toyota recalled 45,000 Lexus IS models. In the European market, Toyota recalled a total of 80,000 vehicles, including Lexus models, Toyota 4Runner SUVs and Corolla compact cars.
Another market with 100,000 recalls this time is Mexico, and Toyota recalls 100,000 Corolla, Sienna-type MPVs, and Yaris compact cars. A total of 120,000 vehicles were recalled in South America and elsewhere.
According to the previous technical analysis, the Takada airbag inflator uses ammonium nitrate material. When the temperature and humidity reach certain conditions, it may be affected by external influences, and the Takada airbag does not use desiccant to eliminate hidden dangers. After the airbag inflator explodes, some metal fragments may splash and kill the insiders.
According to statistics, Takata airbags have caused more than 100 injuries since 2008, and the number of people killed has reached 13. Most of the casualties occurred in the United States, especially with the oldest Honda. Other fatal accident markets include countries such as Malaysia.
The total number of car recalls caused by the accumulated 17 million Toyota Takata airbags has lasted for a long time and is unmatched in the history of the car. The Toyota "Pedestal Door" recall in 2009-2011 and the "Ignition Switch Door" (GM-based) incident since 2013 have caused tens of millions of vehicles in the automotive industry to be recalled. However, compared with the "Tada Sky Airbag Door", Dwarfed in scale.
Since 2008, Takada airbags have exposed defects in accidents and involved small-scale recalls. Since 2013, Takada airbags have suffered a large-scale recall. In mid-May 2015, the “Gaota Airbag Door†became the largest auto recall in history with a cumulative 36 million vehicles worldwide (some vehicles recalled more than once). At the end of the month, the total number exceeded 40 million. By November 2015, the total number of global vehicle recalls caused by Takada Airbags exceeded 50 million.
In 2016, this number continues to expand substantially. On May 27th, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a notice that eight auto companies will recall 12 million vehicles in stages due to defects in Takada's airbags, of which Fiat Chrysler (FCA) will recall 4.3 million vehicles. Honda will recall 4.5 million vehicles, Toyota will recall 1.6 million vehicles, Mazda recalls 731,000 vehicles, Nissan recalls 402,000 vehicles, Subaru recalls 383,000 vehicles, Mitsubishi recalls 38,000 vehicles, and Ferrari recalls 2,800 vehicles.
Statistics from foreign media such as Gasgoo and Japan Economic News show that as of May this year, Takata Airbags caused a total of 120 million vehicles, equivalent to more than 10 times the "pedal door" incident. Among them, the most affected car company is Honda, which has exceeded 24.5 million last year. After Toyota’s recall, the total number reached 17 million.
As Takata is still exposing the range of defective airbag applications, it is foreseeable that in the future, the number of 120 million vehicles will continue to ferment.
