- Federal safety regulators have sharply lowered the number of vehicles likely affected by faulty Takata (TKTDY) airbag inflators, cutting the figure by about 40% to 19.2M from more than 30M.

- The recall still remains the largest and most complex automotive recall in history - involving 11 different automakers.
