U.S. senators seek federal probe of Takata-linked Texas explosion
Aug 31 (Reuters) - Two U.S. senators on Wednesday called on the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate the Aug. 22 crash and explosion of a truck carrying Takata Corp air bag parts.
The truck crash in Texas near the Mexican border is linked to an explosion and fire that killed a woman and injured four others. Takata makes air bag inflators containing ammonium nitrate, which have been linked to at least 14 deaths and resulted in a massive vehicle recall.
