Takata (TK Global LLC) is recalling certain Non-Azide driver-side air bag inflators (NADI). These inflators were used by certain vehicle manufacturers and included in recall expansions under NHTSA numbers 21V-401 and 21V-470. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to explode or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
