shared on the NHTSA's website Wednesday. This explosion"may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants."
The inflators were an interim replacement for the ones that were part of the initial recall.

Takata said the 10 million number is an estimate and"represents the quality produced for the U.S, market," the company said in the NHTSA document. The company said many of the inflators were never installed on vehicles.In total, roughly 41.6 million vehicles with defective Takata air bags are under recall, according to the NHTSA.
Faulty Takata inflators have killed at least 25 people and injured hundreds more, according to the AP. Globally, about 100 million Takata inflators are being recalled.
