Supercars at Risk: McLaren, Ferrari, and Tesla Added to Takata Airbag Recalls



Nearly two dozen late-model supercars with defective Takata airbag inflators are now under recall, according to the latest posting by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
What’s particularly disconcerting is how many brand-new exotics made the list despite their manufacturers knowing, for almost two years, that all non-desiccated Takata inflators with ammonium nitrate would have to be recalled. Among these cars are the 2017 Audi R8, the 2016?2017 McLaren 570S, and the entire 2016?2017 Ferrari lineup.

Tesla joins the recall for the first time on all 2012?2016 Model S sedans. Among older exotics, the 2012 Fisker Karma and Lexus LFA have the defective airbags. Even McLaren P1 owners aren’t immune to the shrapnel-spewing inflators.
