The Takata airbag recalls have been a significant concern to impacted car manufacturers worldwide for a long time now. We have seen over eleven manufacturers involved in the recalls, with some of the more affected brands being Honda, Toyota and Nissan.
The recalling of the airbags began when in humid weather countries, airbags were failing to operate when they should, and airbags would also burst, firing shrapnel into the driver and passengers faces.
Sadly this issue has led to injuries and even deaths in different countries, including the United States. The controversy surrounding the matter lead to members of the Takata company stepping down from their positions.
Today, however, more news is coming from this matter which involves both mentioned Nissan and Toyota. 
The latest round of recalls from Toyota and Nissan
The big talking point now, though, is that a total of 6.5 million vehicles produced by Nissan and Toyota have been recalled. Around 160,000 recalls are in Britain. Some of Toyota's most significant models, such as the RAV4, Yaris and Avensis, are confirmed to be affected.
Nissan recalls will involve vehicles such as the Almera and Navara.
Both Toyota and Nissan have commented on these UK recalls, with Toyota saying customers affected by their recalls will either be contacted by phone or via post, and a free fix for the problem will be provided within the next six weeks.
Nissan, however, has stated that they will repair the problem in June, with customers being made aware if they are affected or not during the same month.
How much longer will the Takata recalls go on?
The latest news is that carmakers now have a much clearer understanding of the problem with the airbags themselves and have stated that moisture finding its way into the airbag compartments are partly to blame.
This could mean that fixes will become easier for brands across multiple countries, and we could soon see the issue end. Sadly there are more to come, though, as Honda is reportedly preparing to issue more recalls themselves.
