What happened

Takata Corporation is recalling certain frontal air bag inflators that were previously installed as replacement parts in vehicles during earlier Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant breakdown that occurs after prolonged exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and repeated temperature changes. If an inflator explodes, it can scatter sharp metal fragments that may seriously injure or kill vehicle occupants.

Vehicle manufacturers will announce separate recalls to replace the affected inflators with permanent replacement parts. The recall began January 2, 2020. The source does not specify what action an affected consumer should take.
