Toyota Takata Airbag Deal is Off For Now
Following Honda made an announcement that it will stop using airbag components from Takata, both Toyota and Mazda have said they will stop purchasing airbag inflators from Takata, at least those that incorporate ammonium nitrate.
Will Mitsubishi and Subaru also consider dropping the airbag supplier? Nearly 40 percent of Takata’s sales in 2014 came from airbag parts.
