    I know its not motorcycles, as such, but its serious enough when it concerns your family.
    Choice are reporting that potentially faulty airbags in numerous brands and model cars are being replaced by the same potentially faulty airbags. Thus requiring another replacement. The car manufacturers are not telling you their replacing potentially faulty airbags with the same potentially faulty airbags.

    This is on cars back to year 1999. These airbags are fitted to $15,000 cars and up to even the Ferrari 458 at over 1/2 a mill. They said many Mazdas, Toyotas, BMWs ect have them and over a million aussies have not had them replaced under recalls.

    Might want to look into your model and check. Choice have caught these bastard Car bosses out.

    The company at the heart of one of the worst auto safety scandals in history has filed for bankruptcy.

    Japan's Takata was brought down by the huge cost of its exploding airbag crisis. The company's faulty airbag inflators, which can blast shrapnel into drivers and passengers, have resulted in the recall of tens of millions of vehicles and been linked to 11 deaths in the U.S. and several others elsewhere.
    With spiraling debts estimated at more than $9 billion, Takata (TKTDY) said Monday it's seeking bankruptcy protection in Japan and the U.S. It's also selling off the lion's share of its business to a U.S.-based rival.

    Key Safety Systems, a Chinese-owned company based in Michigan, is paying $1.6 billion for nearly all of Takata's operations. But it's staying away from the parts that deal with the airbag inflators, which will eventually be wound down.
    Earlier this year, Takata admitted to manipulating and withholding key information about the faulty inflators for years, even after they started exploding in people's cars. It pleaded guilty in the U.S. to a criminal charge of wire fraud for which it will have to pay $1 billion, including a $125 million fund to compensate victims and their families.
