As for being out of warranty...yes, true...but...there continues to be a liability back to the OEM regardless of how old it is...Note that one of the years covered is 2001 and does anyone think they are still under warranty?...heck does anyone think any of those listed are still under warranty?...but...over all liability is always still there...the OEM's 'can buyout' that over all liability with a public notice and honor the terms the government accepts (time limit, dollar amount per, etc, etc)
Why one of my small companies dropped our people movers product line...Ski Lift controls and drives. Crazy jury awards...even though the product was years/decades out of warranty. Ditto other people mover market sectors. Really forced to get out of those market sectors by our insurance
So again...anyone of the freebie forum advisors going to put their skin into their mouth/advice????
An example is the current air bag recalls...

{edit}...just in case someone thinks only these OEM's are affected...ALL are affected...even American badge vehicles...

Summary
NHTSA urges consumers to not drive these vehicles unless they are going straight to a dealer to have them repaired immediately:
2001-2002 Honda Civic
2001-2002 Honda Accord
2002-2003 Acura TL
2002 Honda CR-V
2002 Honda Odyssey
2003 Acura CL
2003 Honda Pilot
Certain 2006 Ford Ranger (Ford advises do not drive)
Certain 2006 Mazda B-Series (Mazda advises do not drive)
New test data on the defective Takata air bag inflators in these vehicles show a far higher risk of ruptures during air bag deployment than for other recalled Takata air bags.
If you own one of these vehicles, search the Recalls Lookup using your vehicle identification number (VIN) to confirm that the vehicle has an unaddressed recall and needs a repair. If it does, immediately call your dealer to schedule a free repair. Replacement parts for these vehicles are available. Additional information is available here.
