Takata recall - - takata holdings inc has filed for chapter 11 and has not made a replacement available for their defective and dangerous passenger side airbag which is still installed in my vehicle. i want it replaced and takata must make these repairs immediately at no cost to me or my family. any passenger in my vehicle is at risk of injury or death from shrapnel should the airbag be deployed. takata has replaced the driver side airbag but has not made a passenger side replacement available and it appears that it will not become available. in lieu of replacement, takata wants us to agree to a class action settlement and walk away from their responsibility with regard to manufacturing a safe replacement part to resolve the issue once and for all. we want the part replaced, not a cash settlement!
