    Takata recall: we received a letter from gm in regards to this recall july 2016. We then receive a card from tk holdings about the bankruptcy that takata has gone under. Our truck has still not received repairs! Has this bankruptcy filing stopped any repairs on our vehicle? If so, what happens if we are seriously injured because of this?
