Two influential U.S. senators, worried about Takata Corp’s ability to complete its recall of potentially deadly air bag inflators, sought regulatory guidance on how to hold the Japanese company accountable if its U.S. subsidiary goes bankrupt.
“We have concerns about Takata’s financial solvency, which is now at risk … and that as a result, consumers could be left with defective airbags that no one will be forced to fix,” Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey said in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Monday.
