After resisting for several weeks, Chrysler is bowing to government demands to expand a recall of driver’s side air bag inflators across the entire nation.<\/p>\n
The company says in a statement Friday that it will recall nearly 2.9 million older cars and trucks across the U.S., as demanded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n
The recall includes Chrysler’s most popular model, the Ram pickup, from the 2004 through 2007 model years.<\/p>\n
The vehicles have driver’s air bags equipped with inflators made by Japan’s Takata Corp. The inflators can explode with too much force and spew shrapnel at drivers and passengers.<\/p>\n
The recall previously was limited to Hawaii, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n
The government demanded that five automakers expand recalls. BMW is now the lone holdout.<\/p>\n
