Honda refused Takata as a airbag supplier


On January 23, the last one shocking news in the United States where Honda will refuse Takata as a source of air bags for next-generation Accord, and switch to one of the company's competitors were hit by this problem. Both companies have often made headlines since millions of vehicles equipped with air bags Takata recalled recent months, which has an unpleasant tendency to shoot out a sharp piece of glass to consumers.

Measures, as described Reuters, terrible for Takata. Honda is the largest customer of the company, and the Accord represents the most significant product sales, more than a quarter of the company's sales last year. Worse, there are also reports that both the 2016 CR-V and Odyssey will get them out of the air bags Toyoda Gosei and not of Takata again. If true, this means that Takata will lose more than half of Honda cars in the US market.
