- The NHTSA is on the hot seat along with Takata (TKTDY) and major automakers at a hearing in Washington D.C. on the massive air bag inflator recall.
- NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind admitted to mistakes by the agency, but also called it "overwhelming" to keep pace with the document flow.
- The actual tally of recalled vehicles may be revised lower due to some double counting.
- Fiat Chrysler (NYSE:FCAU) and Honda (NYSE:HMC) are the two major automakers seen as having the costliest impact from the Takata meltdown.
