Opel recalls one million vehicles due to dangerous airbags
Automaker Opel has announced the recall of approximately one million cars, including Astra, Mokka, Zafira, Vectra, Cascada, Meriva, and Signum models produced between 2003 and 2018, due to safety concerns linked to Takata airbags.
These vehicles are equipped with Takata airbags containing ammonium nitrate, a substance that degrades over time. When triggered, the airbag may explode violently, sending shrapnel flying and posing severe risks to drivers and passengers. The manufacturer has been struggling to resolve this issue since 2013 with limited success.
This recall aims to reduce safety hazards for vehicle owners and to address the defect as promptly as possible.
