The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added about 3 million vehicles to its tally of cars recalled to replace defective Takata Corp. air bags, one day after urging owners to take immediate action.
The auto safety regulator said 7.8 million vehicles are involved in 2013 and 2014 recalls tied to Takata air bags, according to a statement on its website. The Washington-based agency added callbacks by automakers including Ford Motor Co. that weren’t included in a statement released yesterday.
