Summary
Tens of millions of defective Takata airbags remain on the road, posing a significant safety risk as they can explode and send metal shrapnel into vehicle cabins. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) urges vehicle owners to check for recalls by entering their license plate number or VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls. This simple step can help ensure the safety of drivers and their families.

Billy Grubbs on Healing Father Wounds, Trust, and Becoming the Father He Needed | Dear Son Show
On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with Billy Grubbs about how maturity changes a man’s readiness for fatherhood, reflecting on how a younger, cockier version of himself lacked accountability compared to who he is now. Billy shares growing up as an Army brat across the U.S. and abroad, the instability of a broken home, attachment and trust issues, and how those patterns fueled relationship struggles, including infidelity and fear of being alone. He describes reconciling long-held animosity toward his late father after a personal development training led to a powerful phone call where his father admitted he didn’t always know what he was doing but called Billy and his brother his greatest accomplishment. They discuss vulnerability, friendship accountability, fatherhood standards, and Billy’s desire to build a healthy, authentic family legacy.
