Takata made the shrapnel-loaded air bags, but the car manufacturers are responsible for the recall. Anyone who drove an early Workhorse chassis knew that the brakes felt spongy and weird and stopping distances were increased. Several years passed before Workhorse initiated the recall.
What a load of BS. I drove mine for over 5 years with 50,000+ miles and never had any concerns about my brakes. They never felt spongy. Then I got brand new brake calipers all of the way around for free and the new brakes work fine also. The coach stopped fine every time, before the recall, even when traveling through the Western mountains, which is where we take most of our trips.
Some people feel that a recall means that EVERY single vehicle has the problem, which is just ignorance on their part. Not every Ford burned up because of the cruise control problem even tho it affected the F53 chassis and thousands of other vehicles. The same goes with the WH brake recall. There were more happy users than there were users affected by the brake problem. The same goes for every recall on every vehicle that has ever been built.
