I believe the Tekata airbag recall was federally mandated. With so many to replace highest risk vehicles were recalled first.
The recall was initially confined to vehicles registered in Gulf Coast states, Florida, & Puerto Rico, and subsequently expanded nationwide. The scope of the fixes were a moving target as well, varied by manufacturer. My daughter's 2004 Toyota Corolla started out with a recall for both driver and passenger airbags, then a wiring harness to the airbag control module, then most recently, the airbag control module itself. My 2005 Ram 3500 started with a recall for the driver side airbag only. Two months ago I received another recall notice for the passenger side airbag.
Nothing ever went awry in either of our vehicles, but last summer a young woman found dead in her wrecked car on a road in Orlando was thought to initially have been a homocide until the medical examiner found shrapnel from the airbag canister in her neck during the autopsy. There was no accident, the bag deployed on its own causing the accident because the driver bled to death from her wounds.
She was killed by a safety device ??
