The French government has mandated that automotive manufacturers address the ongoing Takata airbag safety crisis by proposing mobility solutions to customers whose vehicles are immobilized for more than 15 days due to defective airbags. This directive, issued by the French Ministry of Transport, requires manufacturers to offer alternatives such as loaner vehicles. The decision follows a recent fatality linked to Takata airbags and includes an order for 30 car brands to accelerate and expand recall efforts, with a deadline set for the end of 2026. Separately, Ford Motor Company announced a recall of approximately 312,000 trucks and SUVs due to a risk of brake failure that could increase the likelihood of crashes. The recall targets vehicles experiencing loss of power brake assist while driving, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in the automotive sector.
