A friend referred me to this
website (below), run by the US Government, where you can check your vehicle by
VIN number to see if it is involved in the airbag (or other recall). Usually your dealer or the car company
notifies you of such recalls, but if you bought a car used, perhaps they don’t
know how to contact you.
https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ to search by your VIN number
http://www.safercar.gov/ The home page for car safety (US government operated
website, I assume it is accurate and up to date)
The massive air bag recall
(expanded May 19 to include millions more cars I have read). For example, Toyota and Nissan have
recalled an additional 6.56 million cars equipped with possibly faulty airbags
manufactured by Japan-based Takata.
Please leave comments if you have better, or newer, information on how to check your personal vehicles.
