Automakers impacted in air bag recall

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that automakers who use air bags made by Japanese supplier Takata will recall vehicles sold in states with hot, humid weather. Automakers will repair the vehicles for free, and in most cases replace both the driver’s side and passenger side air bag inflators, which can rupture.

The following automakers and vehicles will be included in the recall, according to letters sent to NHTSA by the various automakers:
