The Takata airbag inflator defect is responsible for the deaths of an estimated 23 people and has caused injury to nearly 300 more. The recall itself has been going on for 10 years and has involved more than 30 million vehicles and 50 million inflators from manufacturers all over the globe.
Of the affected vehicles, NHTSA estimates that, of those 50 million inflators, some 16.7 million have yet to be replaced, though according to Deputy Chief of NHTSA Heidi King that number will continue to fall as repair rates increase.
