You’ve probably heard of the Takata airbag recall. The air bag is replaced because there was a possibility that on detonation it would send shrapnel into the occupants of the vehicle. 24 people died and over 290 were injured due to the defective units.
Takata had to file for bankruptcy and got bought out by a larger firm. In addition Takata was found guilty of a wire fraud as part of their one billion dollar settlement. Two years past Toyota recalls its recall. Some of the vehicles that were part of the Takata recall now have a chance that there airbag will not fill correctly
