   We had our toyota (japanese import) recalled and taken to the local New Zealand Toyota dealer and they were replaced.
   Parking with a real issue as it was total recall. I am glad we they replaced it free of charge.

   I've personally replaced well over a hundred of these faulty airbags just in the past few years. Pretty wild how long people have been riding around with these aimed at their loved ones.

    I worked at Honda as a tech for years doing these recalls. Honda actually had to recall many of the vehicles twice because it was found that some techs were installing the passenger side inflators incorrectly. I still have a desktop mat they gave out with instructions on proper installation.

    When the inflators were originally shipped to the assembly plants they were sent in smaller, limited quantity lots in order to keep them below the amount that required a Hazmat placard. That is a very common workaround and I'm sure that's how they were shipping the recalled units without Hazmat placards as well.

    I have to push back on the airbags in tractor trailers being as powerful as the Oklahoma city bombing. There is no way the ammonium nitrate quantity is is even close to that.

    I know an old lady that in the early 2000s was in a minor accident and her airbag exploded. It broke her nose and another bone in her face. She also lost her hair from whatever chemicals are all in it. I wonder if she ever got paid

    thank you so much for making this video man,

    i thought i could just watch another video from you while doing some work but you actually got me to look up if any of the family cars got any recalls over the years here in my country and it turns out one of them actually got a recall for faulty fuel pumps

    i talked to my dad about it and it turns out it did have the problems that were described in the recall, but he thought it was just a weird quirk of the car

    thank you, you and the team might have just saved our lives

    I'll believe corporations are people when they start enforcing the death penalty.

    Edit: The above is half joking & only a stopgap solution. What I actually believe is that essential industries & industries with potential to harm or kill people (especially on masse) need HEAVY oversight & regulation, or even nationalization. They should never be allowed on the stock market & be safety/people oriented, not profit oriented.

    A pipe dream, but prolly the best plan to keep people safe.

    Ammonium nitrate had precisely nothing to do with the Challenger explosion, in part because the SRBs contain no ammonium nitrate.

    I have a question regarding the first accident in the parking lot with two low-speed cars. I understand the quality issues with the chemicals used in the airbag’s inflator, leading to it going off unnecessarily BUT what was the reason for the metal shrapnel that caused the fatal injury?

    The description of how the airbag works could have been better. There are multiple sensors, and at least two have to be triggered. And the point of the airbag is to be fully inflated before you reach it so you have a cushion that deflates as soon as you hit it as your seatbelt stretches. Which is also why they become dangerous if your not wearing your seat belt!

    50k people saved over ~35 years really isn’t very many. You’d think for something so pervasive it would be saving 50k a year.

    I worked for an Acura dealer from '00 to '05. All parts replaced under warranty or recall where stored for 90 days and disposed of locally. Most stuff just goes in the scrap metal bin, for airbags we there told to deploy them and put them in the dumpster. No shipping back to anybody.

    There was probably some loophole that the detonators fell outside of. There was a similar case with expired oxygen generators found in airplanes (for the oxygen masks) that brought down a plane and killed 100+ people.
