Why Takata's Recall Is Stalled

摘要

Craig Jorgensen owns a Honda CR-V and a Toyota Avalon, both originally fitted with potentially deadly air bags made by Takata, the object of the biggest safety recall in U.S. automotive history. The Honda was fixed within days after he received letters in June saying the bags had to be swapped out. But five months later, his local Toyota dealer has no idea when replacement parts will arrive. The 70-year-old from Issaquah, Wash., drives the Avalon anyway-as do most Americans with Takata-equipped vehicles.
