Stellantis, the parent company of Dodge and Chrysler, has issued a “stop driving” order for the owners of four vehicle models that have proven to be deadly. The company says Dodge Magnums, Dodge Challengers, Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300s manufactured between 2005 and 2010 are equipped with faulty Takata airbags. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the defective airbags have been responsible for three deaths over the past seven months. Although the company previously sent more than 210 million recall notices to owners, a rep says at least 276,000 of the dangerous vehicles are still on the road. “The longer these particular vehicles remain unrepaired, the greater the risk of an airbag rupture,” Stellantis’ warning reads.
