WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee Chairman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX) today responded to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) announcement that it was expanding the Takata airbag recall.
“Drivers want to know, are they safe? And with this latest recall, peace of mind is hard to come by for folks on whether their airbag will help or harm them," said Upton and Burgess. “Clearly, there are too many defective airbags still on the roads. NHTSA, Takata, and automakers need to buckle down, do more, and work together to get these defective airbags off the road so Americans on the road in Michigan, Texas, and all across the country are safe."
