Daimler AG, Volkswagen AG and BMW AG recalled about 2.3 million U.S. vehicles since Tuesday to replace potentially defective Takata Corp. air bags.
The recalls, detailed in company statements and government filings, are part of the 5.1 million vehicle recall expansion that Takata telegraphed to U.S. regulators in late January. The German companies join Honda Motor Co. and Ford Motor Co., both of which already widened recalls following the ninth U.S. fatality tied to Takata’s safety devices.
