Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My dates/ mileage are not accurate, but info otherwise is correct. Do I need accident report for air bag date? I am scarred from the gas and the airbag seam that ripped my wrists open from the deployment of the bags during this accident. I was quite infected. Also, my gas tank cracked a few years ago and my ex-beau used boat putty for plastic boat gas tanks to fix it until I could handle it. It held well until now and has cracked further in the same area. Putty is not holding any longer. I was just about to replace the tank recently when I heard about the recall. …”
