After a man is injured from a airbag explosion which sent pieces of shrapnel (fragments of a bomb or other object thrown out by an explosion) shooting out into his face almost killing him; the Japanese company Takata issues the largest auto recall ever. Takata's airbags are reported to have killed 6 people and injured over a dozen. They have been issued $5 million in fines and the recall will affect 11 different manufacturers and 34 million cars. To check and see if your car has these defective airbags go to safercar.gov/rs/takata but be sure to periodically keep checking back as updates will be made frequently.
