WHAT CAUSED THE AIRBAG DEFECTS?

When a crash occurs, certain chemicals and devices work to inflate the airbag at a high rate of speed. According to investigations into these claims, the defects occur in the inflator and propellant devices. The chemicals used in this process were allegedly stored and handled incorrectly, causing them to react violently when crashes occur.

In April of 2013, Takata announced that the parts were defective. However, a report from the New York Times suggests that the company knew about the defects as early as 2004, and may have even tried to destroy evidence that proved employees knew about the defects. Takata denies these claims.
