Takata Corporation

Takata Corporation was a Japanese automotive parts company with production facilities on four continents and its European headquarters in Germany. Beginning in 2013, a series of deaths and injuries linked to defective Takata airbag inflators made at its Mexico plant led the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to order an ongoing, nationwide recall that eventually covered more than 42 million cars, the largest automotive recall in United States history. Takata filed for bankruptcy in June 2017 and was acquired by Key Safety Systems, and as of January 2024 more than 100 million of its airbag inflators worldwide had been recalled by more than 20 carmakers.
