Chrysler Gives In To Gov't, Expands Air Bag Recall

DETROIT (AP) — After resisting for nearly a month, Chrysler has bowed to government demands and will expand a recall of driver's side air bag inflators across the nation. The automaker said Friday that it will recall nearly 2.9 million older cars and trucks in the U.S., as demanded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With the move, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles joins Honda, Mazda and Ford in expanding the recall nationally, which could ease the minds of many car owners whose vehicles previously weren't eligible for repairs. [...] covered are Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen SUVs, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans, Dodge Magnum wagons, and the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi ranger pickups — all from 2004 through 2007. The safety agency says there's no data to support a nationwide recall of passenger air bags, which so far has been held to the high-humidity states.
