Takata Air Bag Problem Gets Worse
The controversy surrounding the allegedly defective shrapnel-slinging exploding air bags continues to grow, now that Nissan says it will add another 52,000 vehicles to its recall effort.
Nissan reported the plan to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, according to a report in The Los Angeles Times.
“Meanwhile, a group of senators is asking the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into reports that the air bag supplier conducted secret tests on ruptures a decade ago but didn’t take action or report the results to safety regulators,” The Times reports.
