Takata has acknowledged their recall but claim to have everything under control. They only talk about how their products have helped people in the past. they're pretty much trying to save themselves. this is because the us government is fining the company $14,000 a day for their refusal to cooperate. Takata plays the 'didn't know nuffin'  card and responded to the fining with, "We strongly disagree with the characterization that we have not been fully cooperative," We all know that Takata is just trying to save themselves from these massive failures.
