Description
More than 6 million vehicles in the U.S. still have dangerous, recalled airbags, according to new data from CARFAX.
These potentially deadly Takata airbags were recalled a decade ago because they can launch pieces of metal like shrapnel when they deploy.
They become more dangerous in states like Florida, where they're exposed to more heat and humidity, which can cause them to inflate even more explosively.
CARFAX ranks Florida in the top three states with the highest number of these recalled airbags still on the road: 305,000.
CARFAX tells us there are 67,000 vehicles with recalled Takata airbags right here in the Tampa Bay area.
