"The Justice Department said the three were suspended in 2015 and not currently working for Takata. To date, 11 deaths and 184 injuries have been linked to the inflators in the United States. All but one of the 11 U.S. deaths have taken place in Honda Motor Co vehicles. The Japanese automaker and Takata have settled nearly all lawsuits filed in connection with fatal crashes.
