Chrysler parent Stellantis earlier this month urged owners of 276,000 older U.S. vehicles to immediately stop driving after three crash deaths tied to faulty Takata inflators were reported since early 2022.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the 2006 Ranger was already under a “do not drive” warning at the time of the crash where the Takata driver’s side air bag inflator ruptured.
