Family Of Latest Takata Death Says They Never Got Any Recall Notices For Airbags

The brother of a Texas teenager killed by shrapnel from an exploding Takata Corp. airbag said on Thursday that his family never received a recall notice about the defective vehicle safety device.

The brother's comments came as federal safety regulators called current methods of alerting consumers about vehicle safety recalls inadequate.

They also contradicted a statement from Honda Motor Co. that said notices to replace the airbag were sent to the owners of the 2002 Honda Civic involved in the accident in which Huma Hanif, a high school senior, was killed.

Oh here we go with the next scam. The "I wasn't notified" lie.

State DMVs need to require proof of recall repair, just like insurance.

California does in a limited way.
