In case you thought the Takata airbag saga was over.

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel.

The urgent warning Monday covers:

Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years.
RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005.
Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory.

Most of the vehicles are in the U.S.

“If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced
Don't even drive these particular cars to the dealer — the dealer will come to you

Imagine that going off in your face

You realize it's been almost 10 years since I first posted about this and they're still finding new batches of Takata airbags to recall

[WLJ]

I'm temped to pull the cover off of mine (07 Focus) just to make sure it's not another one they over looked.

My 2010 Fusion needs it. I've been getting calls and letters like crazy

You may want to get that done, there have been people killed by the airbag itself.

Did mine a year ago, 2004 ranger. I got a whole new steering wheel. Ford even replace cruise control buttons that didn’t work.

Ford swapped both driver and passenger in my sons 2012 Fusion.

They did one years ago, then 2-3 years later they recalled the other.

Takata replaced a bunch years ago with airbags that were worse than the original batch.

That's kinda terrifying
