The owners of about 29,000 older Dodge Ram pickups are urged to stop driving them after a passenger was killed by an exploding Takata airbag inflator.
– Stellantis and the U.S. government are urging the owners of some 2003 Dodge Ram pickups to stop driving them after a passenger was killed by an exploding Takata air bag inflator.
Takata used ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate air bags in a crash. But the chemical can become more volatile over time when exposed to moisture in the air and repeated high temperatures. The explosion can rupture a metal canister and hurl sharp shrapnel into the passenger compartment.
Stellantis says it will provide free transportation to help people and their vehicles get to and from dealerships. The agency says even minor crashes can make the air bags explode and kill people or cause serious injuries.
