Takata recall lack of replacement parts prohibits use passenger seats until parts are available. This places an undue burden on vehicle owners and limits the passenger carrying capacity under which the vehicle was sold. Going against this mandate impacts terms of vehicle insurance policy. Mazda or takata must pay for leaner vehicle equal to the ones impacted by this recall.
