Butler Auto Recycling in Milton, FL, which is known to be a reliable auto salvage yard Milton FL residents can go to, is proud to announce that they have checked all their airbags to make sure they are not part of the Takata airbag recall. The said airbag recall has been the biggest of its kind in the history of the automotive industry because the said airbag can cause metal shards to be sprayed inside the car when the airbag is ignited with explosive force. While awareness has been raised quite significantly and most people with a Lexus, Scion, or Toyota have checked whether their air bags are involved in the recall, there has been a lack of checks by salvage yards.
Jim Butler, owner and founder of Butler Auto Recycling, says: "The Takata airbag recall is really serious, and we have been nothing short from ashamed to see that so many salvage yards and recycling companies have continued to sell these airbags. We guarantee that none of the airbags we carry has been listed under the Takata airbag recall. Safety comes first, after all."
Some 28.8 million vehicles were affected by the original recall. However, some 17 different makes of vehicles were added to this recently. As a result, a further 35 to 40 million vehicles could be affected by it. The new list has been released by the government and Butler Auto Recycling has immediately checked whether their auto parts Milton FL services were listed there or not, removing any airbags that could be affected.
"It is important that people understand just how dangerous the Takata airbag is," adds Jim Butler. "It can inflate with far too much force, which means metal pieces can break off and fly through the vehicle. To date, 11 people have died as a result of this and, worldwide, there have been over 100 injuries as well."
The original recall was released in May 2015. Being a junkyard Milton FL residents can depend on, Butler Auto Recycling immediately got to work checking their stocks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that over 8 million airbags have now been fully repaired and are classed as safe. Butler Auto Recycling will continue to keep its checks in place.
