Defective Takata airbags remain in use due to lack of replacement parts.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel (6/18, 601K) reports that owners of some vehicles equipped with recalled Takata airbags have been unable to have their air bags replaced because replacement parts for some vehicles remain on back order. An AutoNation spokesman said that replacements exist for about 90 percent of vehicles with recalled airbags, but some owners have been waiting for years to have their airbags replaced. The piece lists dozens of vehicles for which replacement parts are difficult to acquire.
