Takata airbags are allegedly responsible for the deaths of as many as 16 people worldwide as well as roughly 180 injuries.
There are more than 100 million vehicles from 17 auto manufacturers that are subject to recalls due to these airbags including 69 million that are in the United States. It could take years for replacements to be made due to the scope of this disaster.
