Daimler AG Recalling More Than 840K Vehicles In U.S. Over Air Bags

Daimler AG announced Tuesday that it was recalling 840,000 vehicles in the United States — including more than 700,000 Mercedes-Benz models — because they’re outfitted with air bags made by Takata Corp., which can explode with deadly force. In addition to about 705,000 Mercedes-Benzes, the German automaker said it’s also recalling about 136,000 Daimler vans. It said the recall, which it called "precautionary," will cost the company almost $400 million.
