The U.S. government’s highway safety regulator has opened an investigation into a potential problem that surfaced last year with 56 million Takata airbags, but that the agency eventually deemed safe based on industry research.
The agency said Monday its investigation will try to determine if there's a defect in non-recalled frontal and passenger inflators manufactured by Takata, adding that “no present safety risk has been identified.” More than 25 people were killed and more than 300 were injured by metal flying from the airbags, setting off a series of the largest automotive recalls in U.S. history. About 50 million inflators were recalled in the U.S. and another 100 million worldwide.
