What owners wrote
Takata recall or any defective airbag issues. I rented a car from a small independent car rental agency near a major airport in the USA. I was in slow moving traffic on a highway and had to brake hard for traffic which had stopped. I collided with nothing. The airbag deployed, exploded and shattered as it deployed, burst into flames and a piece of the airbag landed on my arm burning me and leaving a scar. The detonator o the steering remained in flames for several minutes smelling of gunpowder.
