Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Takata Airbag Recall

What came first, the automobile or the recall? Since the invention of the car, manufacturers have been held responsible to cover the costs of any recalls set forth by the manufacturer itself or a third party such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Now, more than 100 years later, we still are faced with things such as the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Takata airbag recall. Schedule Service Appointment!

Takata Recall at Mercedes-Benz

Takata is a company that makes airbags for car companies around the world. Companies like Ford, Honda, BMW, and Nissan have already recalled millions of cars to replace a faulty airbag inflation device. The recalls began earlier this year when the issue began showing up as a cause of death on multiple occasions. Basically, the inflator that shoots the airbag out of the steering wheel has the potential to explode instead of inflating the airbag. This causes shrapnel to fly in every direction, causing more harm than good, as you can imagine.

GLK-Class Vs GLC

To diffuse any confusion, we want to emphasize the difference between the GLC and the GLK-Class. The GLK-Class is no longer made anymore after being replaced by the GLC. This does not make them the same car, so you don't have to worry if you drive a GLC.
