Your vehicle might be involved in one of the largest and most dangerous recalls in automotive history. General Motors is recalling 200,000 Saab and Saturn vehicles with Takata inflators.

You've probably heard about Takata by now. They're the ones that made airbag inflators that explode with too much force and sometimes send metal shrapnel flying throughout the cabin. They're also the ones that have been linked to a number of deaths and injuries.
