Volkswagen Is Recalling 680,000 Cars in the U.S. for Airbag Problems

Volkswagen VLKAY 1.04% said on Wednesday it was recalling 680,000 cars of its namesake brand in the United States because Takata-made airbags in them could be defective.
The recall affects models built between 2006 and 2014, a spokesman said, declining to comment on how much the recall could cost.
Daimler DDAIF 1.26% said late on Tuesday it would recall 840,000 U.S. vehicles with Takata airbag inflators that could be defective, resulting in a charge of 340 million euros ($382.53 million) for the carmaker.
