Only 6% Of Takata Airbags Have Been Repaired In Recalled Vehicles?

The world’s biggest automakers have fixed a fraction of almost 8 million cars recalled for Takata Corp. airbags, providing fuel for a Senate committee grilling the industry today for its handling of the crisis.

About 6 percent of affected vehicles recalled by 10 carmakers have been replaced, according to Bloomberg News calculations based on figures provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Other estimates have put the total number of Takata-related recalls since 2008 at more than 10 million in the U.S. and more than 16 million globally.

Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp., which have called back the most cars, each disclosed lower remedy rates in letters on NHTSA’s website on Wednesday.
