The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, May 29, edition that automakers in Canada whose vehicles contain Takata air bag have increased the number vehicles affected and have upgraded voluntary safety campaigns into full-fledged recalls. The Globe's Greg Keenan writes that there are about 1.41 million vehicles in Canada subject to recall. Regulators in the United States have ordered the recall of all vehicles that have Takata air bags in them. The danger is that the air bag inflators will explode with enough force to send metal parts hurtling through a vehicle. The air bags have been found to be the cause of six deaths worldwide. There have been no abnormal deployments of Takata air bags in Canada, Transport Canada said. Automakers in Canada, however, took actions after the U.S. recall was expanded last week from high-humidity areas to all parts of the country. Honda Canada had previously put in place a voluntary safety campaign that covered about 705,000 vehicles. Now, it is officially a recall. Honda Canada will begin notifying customers late next month. BMW Canada Inc. upgraded its voluntary program to a full recall and expanded the list of vehicles covered.
