WASHINGTON — The U.S. arm of Stellantis has issued a "do not drive" warning for about 29,000 unrepaired 2003 Dodge Ram pickups subject to Takata airbag recalls. The warning comes after a May 13 crash involving one of those vehicles that resulted in a death from an exploding inflator. "One such vehicle was involved in a collision that caused its airbags to deploy," Stellantis said in a statement. "An occupant in the front-passenger seat, who was also the vehicle's owner, succumbed to a serious injury consistent with those observed in previous Takata inflator fatalities." "All went unheeded," the automaker said.
