January 18, 2017 By AdminCompany responsible for exploding airbags is close to settlement with federal prosecutors in the U.S.
Auto-parts maker Takata is reported to be nearing a settlement for supplying allegedly dangerous airbags that can explode and shoot shards of metal in to the vehicle cabin.
It has been revealed that Takata had been making the potentially defective airbags since the early 2000s, and any attempt to unearth their wrong doings have been covered up or misrepresented, according to media sources.
Some 19 automakers have recalled 42 million cars for repair work. It is unsure for now whether car owners will have to partially pay for the fix, or if Takata will have to pay the full fee. With their expected penalty fine being potentially as huge as $1 billion, this whole fiasco may put the company under serious financial pressure.
