Last weeks deadly explosion of a truck carrying parts to Takata's Mexican factory underscores questions about the safety of the chemical compound at the center of the largest automotive recall in U.S. history.
Car owners will be eligible for a payment ranging from $5,100 to approximately $10,000 per vehicle. The amount will be based on the age and mileage of the car.
Takata Corp. has been ordered to replace as many as 40 million additional air bags linked to deadly malfunctions, more than doubling what was already the biggest auto recall in U.S. history.
A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates the headlights in just one of 31 new midsize cars as good.
