A former Takata engineer unveils the hidden dangers behind the largest automotive recall in history. Airbags, designed for protection, instead pose a serious risk due to a critical defect.
Despite warnings and alarming incidents, companies and regulators have downplayed the issue. Through undercover investigations and rigorous testing, a whistleblower exposes the truth behind this industry crisis. His mission: to inform the public and prevent further accidents.
But will the industry take responsibility before more vehicles become part of the problem? This eye-opening documentary reveals the untold story of corporate oversight and the fight for automotive safety.

corporate monsters are pure evil
Ok, the dealer replaced the two front airbags on my BMW M3 for free, but I'm wondering what's the situation with the other four: in both doors and around the headliners?
I wouldn't dare to take them to my basement either.
Good job brother 💪🏾💯💌 I believe we shouldn't have any Chinese Japanese or Korean products at all …. I mean we shouldn't buy or trust anything from ppl that hate Americans to the point where they teach their kids to hate us 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
This is the kind of stuff that leads to people hating their own government. Scary, and change needs to be made at a grass-roots level.
TEMP ANIMATION
John.. .dont sacrifice your and your family's happiness anymore by continuing the crusade. Washington and the corporate world are not listening anyway, my friend.
I had one of those airbags in my Nissan truck , I am so glad I had it replaced at the dealership. Before it killed me.
I've lived in Japan for a long time, and these types of problems are usually swept under the carpet. I've never heard one person talk about the Takata debacle.
CEOs should be made responsible – after all, that’s why they’re paid well – responsibility. If you f*c* up you take the hit and fix the problem, even if it costs money. People would respect them more if they did.
Thank you to all who took the time, and put the effort to be involved in producing this detailed video. Americas foundational, fundamental principles are priceless. Life, Liberty, Justice, Pursuit of Happiness, our Creator Endowed Inalienable Human Rights. They are mission slow creep being sold out to the highest bidder by persons in positions of great responsibility, and public trust. Have been since 1912. We need a return to traditional American values. Community, Honor, Integrity, Liberty, Dignity. Demanding virtuous representatives of good moral character. The era of unprincipled, cunning, unscrupulous, self worshipping career politicians being lobbied by foreign, and corporate interests needs to end immediately. Community volunteers that serve out of love for our Creator, and Country. As it was when it worked so it should be. Those getting extremely wealthy subverting our systems of checks, and balances by conspiring, colluding, and selling America out are not going to stop. They need to be stopped. Petition to Recall, remove, impeach the unscrupulous, and corrupt. Im hoping Americans will come together to save Americas foundational, fundamental principles before the tyrants, technocrats, corrupt, and unscrupulous who have no regard for Life, Liberty, Justice, The Pursuit of Happiness, our Creator Endowed Inalienable Human Rights can subvert, and completely undo them.
Congress should not need a test results to tell you that these are hazardous goods. The fact that Imodium nitrate was used in the Oklahoma City bombing the Beirut explosion and just knowing that it’s a very vital or explosive compound is enough.
But as usual, congress doesn’t do anything right they never do their job when they do do their job. It takes forever.
I thought the Japanese people believe in honor. This isn't that. I'm not downing all Japanese, I'm sure the vast majority are fine honorable people. We have become a world driven by money and greed. It was a sad day for all when revenue outweighed lives.
Thomas got paid off
If I lost an iron and automobile accident from a faulty airbag and a service truck came out to me and told me there was no big deal. I punched them in the eye and say temporarily now you know what I feel like.
Boom goes the honda civic.
His report was in 2000, my Toyota is a 2008 and has the recall 👀. I do 5-10 a week on '08-'13 models 👀👀
Ship'em back??? I have a sealed container that all are deployed in prior to scraping
I was taught that the drivers airbag are considered "violent explosions" but the passenger airbag inflator is just a simple "gas release" from chemical detonation
I have around 30-40 inflators still intact if you need some ammunition. Free of charge if u can contact me.
Thanks this explains quite a bit. I had a civic and was living in VA when Honda was doing the rolling recall. The rep refused to replace my airbag because the high humidity states go first. I did not see a relationship between humidity and over exploding air bags. The rep also could not explain why CA had a recall and VA did not since both had the same humidity profile. I assumed Takata sourced their nitrates from a commercial distributor which would save money and explain the variance in joules of energy causing over detonation of the air bags.
Glad to finally get some answers after 20 years.
Good luck getting the government to do anything at all to address the underlying issue.
These are the same people that brought you a "Food Pyramid" that lied to millions of Americans about what a healthy diet is, pushed and subsidized to the tune of billions of dollars a year high fructose corn syrup that has caused millions of Americans to become obese and diabetic, and then pushing for the lowering of the standards for being declared "diabetic" so their friends in big pharma can sell more synthetic insulin, has pushed for and subsidized the proliferation of glyphosate that is poisoning millions of people.
The government doesn't care. The only thing that matters to them is getting re-elected, and they'll get in bed with whatever corrupt, deceitful, evil corporation will pay for it.
My 04 volvo v70 when I bought it from James hickey he told me car didn't have recall. I looked car up found out n called volvo. Dealer told me lucky that mine didn't blow up without warning. It was bloated. Found out hickey got recall notice but didn't bother fixing it
I can only have massive respective for you sir.
