Ford Motor Co. and Mazda North American Operations Tuesday issued "Do Not Drive" advisories for owners of certain vehicles who have not yet had their cars fixed after several Takata-airbag recalls.
The two automakers are urging customers of recalled vehicles equipped with non-desiccated Takata air bags to stop driving the cars immediately and get their faulty airbags repaired or replaced, according to a notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "If you have one of these vehicles, do not drive it until the repair is completed and the defective air bag is replaced," the NHTSA said.
The Ford advisory comes after three previously announced recalls (15S21, 17S42, and 19S01) beginning in 2015, involving several vehicle lines equipped with Takata non-desiccated airbag inflators.
