NHTSA Issues Urgent Recall For Takata-Equipped Vehicles In Humid Climes
If you happen to own certain BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Nissan vehicles, and reside in a humid climate, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging you to take it in for repairs linked to the Takata airbags installed.
Though the agency didn’t explain exactly the need for urgency, the airbags made by Takata have been linked to humidity-related failures, where upon detonation, metal shrapnel would be sprayed into the cabin, injuring or killing all within.
Owners of the following affected vehicles may need to bring their vehicles in for repairs if they call Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands or Hawaii home:
Toyota: 778,177 total number of vehicles potentially affected
Honda: 2,803,214 total number of potentially affected vehicles
Nissan: 437,712 total number of potentially affected vehicles
Mazda: 18,050 total number of potentially affected vehicles
BMW: 573,935 total number of potentially affected vehicles
General Motors: 133,221 total number potentially affected vehicles
Recall letters are being sent out to affected owners, who can also look up their VIN through SaferCar.gov to determine if their vehicle is under recall.

- Wolfwagen I have worked as a manager in both union and non-union locations. The best union employees were the ones who were indifferent to the union or told them to get bent. The worst ones were the ones who would run to the union for every little thing, even when it was their own actions that caused the problem or because they could not understand their own contract

- Daniel J I had read an article several years ago that one of the issues that workers were complaining about with this plant is that 1/3 of the workforce were temporary workers. They didn't have the same benefits as the other 2/3 of the employees. Will this improve this situation or make it worse? Do temporary workers get a vote?I honestly don't care as long as it is not a requirement to work at the plant.
- Kosmo Tragic. Where in the name of all that is holy did anybody get the idea that self-driving cars were a good idea? I get the desire for lane-keeping, and use it myself, occasionally, but I don't even like to look across the car at my passenger while driving, let along relinquish complete control.
- Bof65705611 There’s one of these around the corner from me. It still runs…driven daily, in fact. That fact always surprises me.

Bill Knapp's was a Midwestern restaurant chain with outlets in Florida as well. they did a thriving business until they hired an outside marketing hotshot who revamped the menu and significantly altered the decor thereby alienating their customer base. they soon after closed for good. I miss the homemade chicken noodle soup and the free chocolate cake on your birthday.
