Takata Bankruptcy Judge Halts Air Bag Victims’ Lawsuits for 90 Days
Takata requested a six-month stay of the lawsuits, arguing an injunction was needed so management could complete a $1.6 billion sale of the company’s viable operations to Key Safety Systems and replace air bag inflators that are subject to the biggest recall in automotive history.
Major automakers including BMW AG, Ford Motor Co., Honda Motor C. Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corp. argued in favor of the six-month pause.
