far exceeds what everyone intended. that can turn the metal band around the airbag into shrapnel, literally flying pieces of metal that go into the cabin of a car. >> while existing laws prohibit car dealers from selling a new car with an unfixed recall and prohibit rental companies from renting a car with an unfixed recall, there is no existing law for used car sellers. >> congress has not acted to enact that. >> searching the web, i found a used car for sale in the bay area with an open recall for takata airbags. >> there's a recall on this car this used car lot owner told me he didn't know before taking the car in question off the business's website, where it had been listed for sale, even though he wasn't doing anything wrong by selling it. >> did you know it had a recall on it? >> a lot of car recall. >> nasa tells abc seven news it does not have authority to require used car dealerships to disclose an open recall to a buyer or potential buyer. the federal trade commission tells abc seven news the used car rule does not have a requirement that open recalls be disclosed, but it does require that dealers

attach a buyer's guide to the vehicle, which includes information about where consumers can search for open recalls on a vehicle. >> that's why it's important to look at your vehicle history report, get a mechanic to check out a car before you buy it to make sure you understand everything that could be wrong with it. >> in march, three u.s. senators introduced the used car safety recall repair act, which, if passed, would require car dealers to repair any outstanding safety recalls in used cars prior to selling, leasing or loaning them to consumers. california congressman mark desaulnier is on the house committee on transportation and infrastructure. clearly, the senators bringing this up is appropriate that we need to really look at this. >> it's shocking to me. the numbers, and clearly there has to be something done in the meantime, you can check the vin number of any vehicle you're purchasing on nhtsa's website to see whether or not there are any open recalls. >> nhtsa says 27 people in the united states have been killed by takata airbags, and at least 400 have been injured. for seven. on your side melanie woodrow, abc seven news. >> take a look at this. a

we'll see more triple digits inland. not quite so many as we saw today, but it will be 103 in livermore, 101 in antioch and upper 90s in many locations. and then as we look at the accuweather 70 forecast, you see we get just a hint of a break on monday and tuesday when inland highs reach only into the mid to upper 90s, so no triple digits those two days. but then wednesday, thursday and friday the triple digit heat returns and may it may not be as extreme as some of what we've seen lately, like 108 and 110, but anything over 100 at this point is just almost unbearable because this heat wave has gone on for so long. >> we've had all these strange streaks lately. remember all that rain that. oh that's right. yeah. now all this heat. >> well, these extremes in the age of climate change are becoming more frequent and a longer duration. and so this is this is the new normal. >> i guess we're seeing it all over the world. yeah. we are. all right. spencer. thank you. okay. once again, let's get to chris alvarez with another preview of sports. chris >> hi, deon. coming up in sports, a busy day of summer
