Dodge, Chrysler owners urged to repair vehicles after another death from Takata airbag

Safety regulators are urging drivers to get their older Dodge and Chrysler vehicles checked after another driver death attributed to an exploding Takata air bag inflator.

Stellantis and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reiterated warnings to owners of 274,000 older Dodge and Chrysler vehicles to stop driving them until faulty inflators are replaced.

Stellantis announced two deaths in November caused by the air bags and said it suspected the inflators caused another. The company formerly known as Fiat Chrysler confirmed the third death early Monday.
