Automakers have recalled several models of vehicles today over concerns regarding a defective airbag piece. In the event of a crash, a common component of the airbag could cause an explosion, sending small bits of metal into the passenger cabin. The problem with Takata Corporation’s part was reported late last night, but automakers Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, & GM, that all source the same part, have already recalled more than three million affected vehicles

Yikes.
