<span class="R~sep~AHeadBrief">NHTSA website offers information on recall</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: ‘Lucida Sans’;" class="R~sep~ACopyBody">My husband and I have been notified that both of our vehicles have a defective Takata passenger-side air bag and as a result we don’t feel safe riding with a passenger.</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: ‘Lucida Sans’;" class="R~sep~ACopyBody">I contacted the dealership, and they have no information on when they will be repaired. Unless we rent a car or buy a new car it seems our travel is limited. Are we as the owners responsible for injuries to any passengers?</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: ‘Lucida Sans’;" class="R~sep~ACopyBody">I don’t suppose the dealership is responsible for providing a rental car while we wait for it to be repaired?</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website says most Takata air bags will function properly, but it offers advice for concerned consumers awaiting repair work.</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">“If you feel uncomfortable continuing to drive your vehicle before the recall repair has been performed on your vehicle, you should contact your dealer and ask for a loaner until an interim or a final repair is completed,” reads the site. “Dealers and manufacturers are not required to provide you a loaner car, but it can never hurt to ask.”</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">Questions of liability depend on the full circumstances and are something for attorneys, judges and juries to consider. To ensure the safety of your passengers, Consumer Reports suggests, leave the front passenger seat empty until your car is serviced.</span>
