Worked at an auto auction yard a few years back and we had two rows constantly filled with Takata airbag replacement cars. They had to have the airbag guy come out each week and replace them all before they could be resold. Swap them to a different row after the fix and replace with more cars. By the way if anyone purchases from these places just know that boats and rvs are a steal as they are usually totalled out by insurance without any damage to them

Reply to TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713
