U.S. Safety Agency Investigates Air Bags Made by Takata Successor Joyson By Keith Laing | April 13, 2021
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating potentially faulty air bags made by Joyson Safety Systems, the successor to defunct manufacturer Takata Corp. that is at the center of one of the biggest recalls in history.
The agency, according to documents posted on its website, has started an “Open Equipment Query” that covers 256,181 passenger-side replacement air bag cushions manufactured by Joyson. Regulators said the cushions might have been folded incorrectly, which they said could prevent proper deployment.

Joyson acquired Takata in 2018. The air bags were used in cars made by automakers including Mercedes-Benz AG, Toyota Motor Corp., General Motors Co., and Nissan Motor Corp. The carmakers that were affected have all initiated recalls of vehicles with the parts.
