What owners wrote
"takata recall" I believe my son died in a crash caused by a faulty takata airbag. My son hit a tree while seat belted in and had no bodily injuries except for a scratch on his leg. I believe that the side air deployed sending a sharp metal object under his left arm severing his artery, which caused him to bleed out and died. There was no other cause for his artery to be severed, except for the airbag causing a piece of metal to sever his artery. ..updated 12/11/17
