Raise recall repair rates to prevent deaths, injuries

Our first meeting was a little awkward, taking place just moments before we both testified before a U.S. Senate committee investigating deaths and injuries from rupturing Takata airbag inflators. One of us was injured by an inflator in a car accident, resulting in a severe eye injury, emotional trauma and months of recovery. One of us works for the company that manufactured the car. What brought us together was tragic. However, now we are working together on a proposal that we believe will help prevent such injuries and save the lives of others by significantly increasing the repair rates for vehicles recalled in America.
