Takata Corp. says three separate Canadian lawsuits claim a combined C$2.4 billion (US$1.9 billion) in damages on behalf of consumers whose vehicles are equipped with Takata airbag inflators that could explode.
Ten carmakers have recalled about 25 million Takata-equipped vehicles worldwide, including 17 million in the U.S. and its territories, to replace the inflators. Most campaigns to date have been limited to regions with persistent high temperatures and high humidity.
The faulty inflators have been linked to six fatalities and more than 100 injuries worldwide over the past six years.
