That major automotive air bag recall is about to get a whole lot bigger. Federal regulators are calling on automakers to expand the recall from just two states to nationwide. More than 14 million vehicles from 11 automakers have already been recalled over the defect linked to at least five deaths in which the air bag explodes spraying deadly metal shrapnel. With millions of vehicles being recalled, how many car owners will know if they are at risk . Will a used car dealer even tell you about the recall . Abcs gio benitez went undercover. Reporter when 29yearold Stephanie Erdman got into a car accident last year it was the air bag that caused the most damage. Its supposed to protect me and help me in a crash. Reporter she says this piece of twisted metal shot out of the air bag and into her face. I had a massive strike on my right side. Reporter her car is 1 of about 8 million subject to an air bag recall. Some of those are now for sale in used car lots. We wanted to see what used car dealers tell customers about this potential danger. In three states out of nine dealers, only one checked on the spot. The customer just wanted to know if there were any recalls. Reporter but this salesman says this suv has no recall for the air bags. But you can tell me theres no recall . Theres not a recall on this one. Not for the air bags . Wrong. So we made a return visit. You told jerry this didnt have a recall. But it does. It does . Yeah. Roberto says its not his fault. Its the manufacturers. Do you feel any responsibility for the kinds of cars youre selling . Of course, yes. We need somebody to let us know and that person is the company, the manufacturer. Reporter the problem is recall letters go to the registered owner, and the owner hadnt registered this suv. The owner told us, quote, we are not required by law to check for recalls. And hes right. There is no federal law stopping used car dealers from selling cars with open recalls or requiring them to check. For now, its up to the consumer. Gio benitez, abc news, new york. Got to check. You have to ask, but the guy might have honestly not known or thought he was saying the right thing, or he could have been up to something, but still. The vin number.
