Not only did the recall cost the Japanese automotive parts company billions of dollars, but the duration of this recall added to its complexity. The recall did not take a couple of weeks or months to conclude. In fact, the recall is still ongoing, with millions of vehicles still on the road containing the deadly airbags.

Certain Dodge, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Poniac, Toyota, Acura, BMW and Chrysler cars appear on the list. The full list can be found at NHTSA.gov.
