Find out if your car has an airbag recall, or any other recall, and get it done as soon as possible.

In my experience doing them on Hondas, they take <strong>an hour or less<\/strong> to do, so you don&#8217;t even have to give up your car for a whole day. These are dangerous and are injuring and killing people, get them fixed now.<\/p>\n<p>To find out if your car has been recalled for an airbag or anything else, call your nearest dealer or go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safercar.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safercar.gov<\/a> and click the &#8220;search for recalls by VIN&#8221; button on the right.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>New blog posts every Monday and Thursday, plus pictures throughout the week on <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mech_malarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Mechanical Malarkey <a href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/merchandise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">T-shirts, hats, and stickers<\/a> are available to order!<\/p>\n<p>-Dan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you somehow haven&#8217;t heard, millions of airbag inflators have been recalled in the past few years because they can become overpressurized due to humidity, leading to ruptures that send shrapnel into the occupants they&#8217;re designed to protect.
