Toyota’s share of the settlement costs is $278.5 million, followed by BMW at $131 million, Mazda at $76 million and Subaru at $68 million. The settlement comes in the wake of mass recalls of airbags produced by Japanese company Takata. They began in 2008 and cover around 100 million airbag inflators used in vehicles made by 19 automakers. Since then, carmakers have recalled 46 million Takata airbag inflators in 29 million American vehicles. By 2019, another 64million to 69 million inflators in 42 million American vehicles are scheduled to be replaced.
