Many millions of auto manufacturers cars, including several Ford and Mercury lines between 2004-2012, are recalled to replace driver side Takata airbags. A drying agent in the inflators degrades the materials over temperature and high humidity cycles causing bag rupture during deployment leading to possible injury and death. What to do: Call Ford at 800 392-3673 or Mazda at 800 222-5500 to find out whether your vehicle is affected and take to a dealer to resolve the problem. Heavens forbid that you were injured from one of these, then call the specialists at DeToffol & Gittleman at 212 962-2220 for help through the complex maze of product defect injury recovery.
