Takata recall: I am amazed that a recall that can cause injury or death is treated so very lightly. It greatly upsets me that I could be in an accident and die but not from the accident. I am a 30 year retired aviation maintenance officer, we didn't fly our aircraft if known safety defect could cost death of our pilots are aircrew.
