"Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported on December 5 that the airbag problem of Japanese auto parts manufacturer Takada is becoming the focus of public opinion. Takada, founded in 1933, is a large-scale manufacturer of auto parts such as seat belts and airbags. Since 1987, it has been mass-producing airbags. Currently, airbag sales account for about 40% of the total. Takata's airbags are used by many automakers around the world, and one in every five new cars in the world uses Takada airbags.

What is considered a problem is the airbag produced by Takada in the United States, Mexico, etc. about 10 years ago. It was pointed out that there is a possibility of abnormal protection from flying out of metal sheets, causing deaths in the United States and Malaysia.
However, such accidents are likely to occur in hot and humid areas, so most automakers initially only conduct regionally limited recalls in southern parts of the United States, such as Florida. Due to the large number of manufacturers employed by Takada airbags, the US media interviewed the victims in the past days, which made the public opinion leapfrog the manufacturers that generally dominated the recall of automobiles, pointing directly to Takada.
The US Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in November that it would extend the recall to the entire US. If Takada does not take countermeasures, he will be fined, and in fact, mandatory recalls will be adopted.
However, why Gao Tian airbags have accidents in hot and humid areas is still unclear. At a related hearing in the US House of Representatives on December 3, an official of the US Highway Safety Administration also said: "There is no relevant data certificate for the recall in the United States."
In the usual car recalls, car manufacturers dominated, and the auto parts manufacturer Takada was pushed to the front is rare. Takata also pointed out at the beginning: "The recall should be carried out by automobile manufacturers or component equipment manufacturers."
At a related hearing in the US House of Representatives on December 3, some US lawmakers pointed out that providing information to consumers is too slow. Takada countered: "The situation was mastered in 2005 and informed the automakers", and the company's response is appropriate.
However, at the hearing, although Takada, who had previously had a negative attitude toward the recall, was worried about the Japanese automakers becoming the focus of the attack, he said that the vehicle recall (recycling and free maintenance) was required in the United States for the US Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Administration. provide assistance.
From 2009 to 2010, due to the quality problems of Toyota cars, there was a situation in the United States that "knocked" Japanese cars.
