New airbag investigation, not Takata but ZF, and we're in it.

No recall yet if ever, but 12 million cars!

This also I assume covers the replacement for the Takata one? Sweet.

I meant, if you got your Takata bag replaced, the replacement needs replacing?

I've read that they've had to replace the replaced takata on some because the replacement wasn't installed correctly. Which is better, an airbag that does't go off or sitting in front of a potential claymore?

The cars I'm posting about never had Takata airbags. These are ZF-TRW airbags, and an entirely separate issue.

No idea why this is off topic since 2012 to 2017 Fits are affected.
