Sign InStellantis has issued an urgent 'Do Not Drive' warning for approximately 225,000 older vehicles in the United States due to critical safety concerns. The alert stems from defective Takata airbag inflators that are prone to exploding upon deployment, potentially causing severe injury or death. Affected models include various Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Mitsubishi vehicles produced between 2003 and 2016. To date, 28 fatalities in the U.S. have been linked to these faulty inflators, prompting intensified regulatory and corporate scrutiny. While 95% of related recalls have already been addressed, the new order underscores persistent liability risks and safety challenges for the automaker. Stellantis is urging owners of the impacted vehicles to seek immediate repairs, which will be provided free of charge at authorized dealerships.
