Six more automakers have specified cars that are now part of the expanded Takata airbag recalls, with Ferrari and Jeep joining the master list for the first time. All of the recalls involve the passenger-side frontal airbag.
First up, Ferrari. Last July, the automaker recalled certain cars in its entire 2015 lineup for Takata airbags, although those airbags had nothing to do with defective inflators shooting shrapnel. Now, 2820 cars in the U.S. are under recall for this problem, including the 2009–2011 California and 2010–2011 458 Italia.
