Search and Rescue: Canadian auto recyclers commended for handling of Takata airbag recall

Toronto, Ontario — Canadian auto recyclers are working hard to pick up the pieces of the still ongoing Takata airbag recall that affected millions of vehicles worldwide.

Rebuilders’ Automotive Supply (RAS) congratulated the nation’s recyclers in an email last Wednesday, saying “Keep up the good work! We Appreciate Our Canadian Customers!”, recognizing them for their hard work in tracing and collecting recalled Takata airbags circulating throughout the Canadian aftermarket.

Thus far, Canadian recyclers have recovered recalled airbags from Chevy/GMC/Cadillac trucks and SUVs, Honda, Nissan, the Pontiac Vibe, Saab, the Saturn Astra, Subaru and Toyota.

The Takata airbag recall was first launched in 2013.
