The recent car crash death linked to Japanese manufacturer Takata’s defective airbags has re-ignited the fury of the automotive industry. The evolving recall has affected more than 34 million vehicles in the U.S. across nearly two dozen brands as of this month. This is the 11th death associated with the defect; the deceased is Delia Robles of Corona, California. She was the owner of the 2001 Honda Civic whose driver side airbag inflator had been part of a recall since 2008 but never repaired despite more than 20 recall notices mailed to the vehicle’s registered owners.

Nine of the other 10 deaths associated with the defective airbags were also in Honda vehicles.
