Chrysler-parent Stellantis is urging owners of 276,000 older U.S. vehicles to immediately stop driving after three crash deaths tied to faulty Takata air bag inflators were reported in the last seven months.

The "Do Not Drive" warning is for owners of previously recalled 2005-2010 Dodge Magnum station wagons, Dodge Challenger coupes and Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans who have not yet addressed Takata driver-side airbag recalls.

Stellantis said replacement driver-side airbags have been available for the vehicles subject to the stop driving notice since 2015.
