Takata says defective airbags made as early as 2008 - Tech Times
In a report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and released by the agency on Friday, Takata says it has been manufacturing flawed air bags in its facility in Monclova, Mexico and selling them to automakers since 2008.... Car manufacturers in the United States have recalled up to 10 million vehicles equipped with Takata-manufactured air bags, citing a variety of reasons for their recalls, including manufacturing and design flaws and incorrect installations. In its report, Takata says the ruptures seen on the air bags in recalled General Motors vehicles had a "very different" pattern from the other recalled cars with Takata air bags. The latest recall made due to the air bags involves Nissan's Infiniti QX56 luxury sport utility vehicle. So far, a total of 10 car manufacturers have made recalls amounting up to 10 million cars due to the defective air bags alone. Source: www.techtimes.com
