FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Japanese air bag manufacturer Takata Corp has issued the largest product recall in the US history on Tuesday to fix faulty air bags in 33.8 million cars, including Honda and Toyota makes. The move comes after pressure from American regulators.
The airbags were
considered dangerous due to risk of explosions of an
unpredictable force, which could cause injury or death to the
passengers seated in the front of the vehicles.
So far, six individuals have been killed and over 100 others
injured worldwide because of shrapnel hitting people after such
explosions. Many more are thought to be at risk.
Takata’s move extends its existing regional recalls in the US to
the national level, the American Department of Transportation has
confirmed, adding that Takata acknowledged the airbags’ defects.
The majority of previous recalls have targeted only the southern
states because humidity was believed to be the key factor
connected to explosions.
“Today is a major step forward for public safety,” US
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement.
“The Department of Transportation is taking the proactive
steps necessary to ensure that defective inflators are replaced
with safe ones as quickly as possible, and that the highest risks
are addressed first. We will not stop our work until every air
bag is replaced.”

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA)
site provides all the details about the Takata
recalls.
Some of the automakers affected include Honda Motor Co., Toyota
Motor Corp., General Motors Co. and Daimler AG trucks. Cars
equipped with Takata’s faulty air bags represent nearly 14
percent of the vehicles in the US, The Wall Street Journal
reported.
The problem with the air bags has to do with the inflator
propellants, which with time and certain temperature levels
become susceptible to “over-aggressive combustion” that can alter
the force of the explosion, according to Takata.
“We have worked extensively with NHTSA and our automaker
customers over the past year to collect and analyze a multitude
of testing data in an effort to support actions that work for all
parties and, most importantly, advance driver safety,”
chairman and CEO of Takata Corporation, Shigehisa Takada, said in
a statement. “We are committed to continuing to work closely
with NHTSA and our automaker customers to do everything we can to
advance the safety of drivers.”

The decision to recall millions of cars in the US comes in
response to months of pressure put on Takata by the NHTSA. The
Japanese air bag maker has been fined $14,000 a day since Feb 20
for dumping millions of documents on the agency, which it then
had to sort through to determine which were relevant to the
investigation.
The expanded recall in the US follows Honda, Toyota and Nissan’s
announcement regarding faulty air bags in more than 33 million
cars. Nearly 20 million vehicles are from Honda, another 8.1
million from Toyota and about 4 million from Nissan.
This is the largest recall in the American market’s history,
beating the early 1980s incident when around 31 million bottles
of Tylenol were recalled after cases of cyanide poisoning due to
drug tampering were uncovered.
