One of the largest and most complex recall efforts in auto industry history is growing larger and more complex.
After starting small, the Takata airbag inflator recalls have spread like a virus to infect 12 automakers and as many as 25 million U.S. vehicles. U.S. regulators have stepped in to help speed up repairs and funnel a finite supply of replacement parts to the vehicles considered most at risk of an inflator rupture.
Even though the recalls have been proceeding in earnest for more than a year, millions of inflators remain unfixed.
