"tanaka recall" 10/04/2009 my son was in his automobiles passenger seat and his friend, who was driving, went off the road into a guardrail. This happened on route 8 at exit 21 in seymour, ct. The ct. Medical examiner reported that the driver had an airbag and that my son didn't in the passenger seat. We were informed by celia, owner of our West haven funeral parlor, that our son died immediately, hitting the top of the car near the seat belt bracket. Celia has a special endorsement with the state of ct. And works with the states medical examiner personally. We feel that our son's injuries/death could have been significantly different if his side and front airbag worked, period.
