Takata

I'm off to the Dodge dealer today for some warranty work.  They're replacing the passenger side airbag as part of the Takata recall.  They replaced the driver side bag about a year ago, and are just now replacing the one on the other side.
On the truck we owned before this one, the passenger side bag could be disabled by a switch operated with the ignition key, but this truck does not have that option.
For years before that, the driver acted as a safety device, throwing his arm across anyone in the passenger seat in an emergency.  I don't know if it worked, but it was probably as effective as a Takata air bag.
