Japanese air bag manufacturer Takata Corp (7312.T) on Monday filed reports with U.S. auto safety regulators declaring nearly 14 million air bag inflators defective.
Earlier this month, Takata said it would expand recalls for defective air bag inflators by 35 million to 40 million in several tranches through 2019, adding to the 28.8 million recalled before May 4.
Monday's recall of nearly 14 million inflators is the first tranche of the expansion announced May 4.
