Mark Rosekind of NHTSA warned in a February letter to Takata that an immediate full recall would offer limited safety gains and could overstep legal bounds. The agency lacks data for further recalls and has set deadlines: by end of 2018 to prove dessicant-free inflators are safe or issue a blanket recall, and by end of 2019 to prove safety of inflators with dessicant.
