Weird!

The Toyota callback for Takata inflator happened circa 2017-18. I owned a 2010 Corolla backmost past and the callback was processed sometime successful aboriginal 2018. Takata has since gone bankrupt.

Why now? (not 7 years earlier)

I ever wondered wherefore VW ne'er recalled immoderate of their cars successful India contempt Takata being associated with their airbag contention for agelong time. Takata airbags utilized to beryllium communal successful astir each the cars and galore of the manufacturers recalled their car models that time. Takata was/is a subsidiary of Honda IIRC?

Weird but remainder assuring that VW is inactive showing religion successful their car models sold adjacent 15 years agone successful India, a state wherever authorities and remainder of the automobile lobby is hellhole bent connected declaring the beingness of the cars arsenic debased arsenic possible.
