Takata Seatbelt Crisis


Recommended Posts

Just came across this latest article about Takata seatbelts which have mainly been supplied to Toyota.

Potential for a future recall.

In the meantime, drive safely and defensively.

Thanks for the information Ash, damn now that is all the Toyota owners need to hear..I hope it proves to be only a very small number of affected vehicles but who knows after the airbag debacle..All we can do is wait and hope and keep an eye on the outcome I guess.

Latest news has reported that the current owners of Takata are sorting through 20 years of test data. Presumably this is to identify to what extent the test data for each model seatbelt actually differed from specifications. Potential big impact for Toyota.

OMG ! Takata make seat belts too ?? :shocking::surprise:

They're actually one of the biggest Japanese harness makers too, any dorifto worth his flat-cap will have knock-off green Takata harnesses fitted to his knock-off Bride bucket seats.
