发帖数: 11530 | 1 Takata Puts Worst-Case Airbag Recall Costs at $24 Billion

Takata Corp., the supplier behind the auto industry’s biggest recall
ever, estimated that a comprehensive callback of its airbag inflators would
total about 2.7 trillion yen ($24 billion), according to a person familiar
with the matter. The shares plunged.
The worst-case recall scenario would involve 287.5 million airbag inflators,
said the person, who asked not to be identified because the company’s
deliberations are private. Takata and the automakers still have to determine
how the costs are shared, the person said. A representative for Tokyo-based
Takata declined to comment.
Takata plunged by about 20 percent to 414 yen, hitting the lower daily limit
in Tokyo trading. The shares have declined 49 percent this year, compared
with the 12 percent decline for the benchmark Topix index.
The projection by Takata exceeds a February estimate by a Jefferies Group
LLC analyst by about $7 billion. The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration has said Takata air-bag inflators caused nine fatalities
by rupturing and spraying plastic and metal shards at motorists. The
regulator is investigating all Takata inflators that use a chemical
propellant banned from future models and is giving the company until as long
as the end of 2019 to determine the root cause of the flaw or prove the
inflators are safe.

Moisture seeping into Takata’s inflators was determined to be the reason
Takata air bags have ruptured by Orbital ATK , a researcher hired by a
coalition of automakers that announced its findings last month. Challenges
with determining root cause of the rupture issue has held automakers and the
supplier back from deciding how the companies will divvy costs.
Expenses stemming from Takata air-bag recalls have totaled about 607.8
billion yen, Takaki Nakanishi, an analyst with Jefferies, wrote in his Feb.
24 report. He estimated future expenses assuming an average cost of about 9,
000 yen per unit.
“It is not difficult to imagine how hard it will be for Takata to rebuild
its financial standing if the expenses are apportioned,” Nakanishi wrote.
“The Japanese automotive industry cannot avoid seriously adopting an exit
strategy from the Takata issue.” | C*****z
