Officials say that unrepaired Takata airbags have an increased risk of exploding.

At least 27 people in the U.S. were killed by a defective Takata airbag that exploded, according to the NHTSA. At least 500 people were injured by exploding Takata airbag inflators.

"Even minor crashes can result in exploding Takata airbags that can kill or produce life-altering, gruesome injuries," the NHTSA said. "Older model year vehicles put their occupants at higher risk, as the age of the airbag is one of the contributing factors."
