The year-long investigation recently culminated in a $70 million fine with the potential of adding on an extra penalty of $130 million. The airbags have been known to rupture, ejecting metal fragments into the interior of the car and harming passengers. The faulty airbags have resulted in eight known deaths as well as dozens of injuries.
The Associated Press reports that after recalling over 1.5 million cars due to faulty airbags, Ford has officially decided against including Takata manufactured airbags in its future vehicles. The automaker is in good company, joining Honda, Toyota, and Nissan.
