Congress very insistent USA is not paying for this re-call, puts Takata in a half-Nelson
MSNBC Money & Reuters issue FAKE NEWS about Ford Re-Call: it is a Takata Re-Call that IS NOT FORD RELATED
* BMW, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, Chrysler, Ford in the least: to be more accurate
* The article posted claims it's a Ford re-call, "BIGGEST EVER", which is a lie wrapped in a lie
* Later the article admits it encompasses many other makers such as Honda, Japan
* The company responsible is Japanese Air Bag maker "Takata", who was forced into bankruptcy due to the size of the re-call.
* The 2006 recall is SERIOUS, a high pressure canister can rupture and injure persons un-expectedly even though there is no accident
* Ford, Honda, Mazda, and other car makers used Takata air bags (2006 defective).
* The article claimed 33,000 Ford recalls was a largest recall in history (see below). (again: the real number is something like 42 million)
* Japan claims japanese hands did not make the (metal canisters), and blames the incident on their German management in europe and a mfg plant in Mexico. (this was likely a scheme to delay lawsuits - which were infact delayed for many years - but ultimately "consumers have won" and the company is bankrupted)
- 200 people so far injured un-expectedly while just "drivin down the road"
In 2013, a series of deaths and injuries associated with defective Takata airbag inflators had led Takata to initially recall 3.6 million cars equipped with such airbags. Further fatalities caused by the airbags have led the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to order an ongoing, nationwide recall of more than 42 million cars, the largest automotive recall in U.S. history.
- recalls are often done by auto companies to lure people into dealerships in order to give corrupt mechanics opportunity to "upsell" un-necessary repairs along with scheduled maintenance ones (even the schedules are becoming corrupt). with all the corruption around the world: it's hard to say if we do not have a case of pinnochio's nose getting longer or not. This corrupt practice was certainly used by japanese car makers and probably spread to usa car makers in the late 1990's clinton era or perhaps 20 teens.
The airbag was first patented and made in the USA, then "off-shored". Since the, airbags have been the NUMBER ONE cause of re-calls, and have more or less been continually defective in some manner or another, small or large. Airbags became "required by law" about the same time they became off-shored.
