00:50 - The Big Warning and The Quick Solution

If you have a used car or truck built since the late 1990s, you and your passengers could be in danger every time you get behind the wheel if your vehicle has a Takata airbag that hasn’t been repaired or replaced. 

The good news is, there is a simple solution for this problem.  It’s a nationwide recall and it takes only a couple of minutes of your time to find out if A) your vehicle has been affected, and B) whether or not the recall repair has been made to your car or truck.  

 And if it hasn’t been repaired, then it takes just a few more minutes of time to schedule a free repair or replacement by the manufacturer.
