I received a card regarding Takata Airbag, but it’s from “TK Holdings Inc.” (“Important legal notice for owners of vehicles with Takata Airbag Inflators”), and looks like it’s about Takata’s Chapter 11.

Anybody got this too? Is it legit?

Thanks

I received such a card about 2-3 weeks ago. I’m inclined to think it’s legit/expected them to go bankrupt long before now.

Me too. It really came in handy as yesterday I had to spend $315 to fix the front brakes in my car. It turned a $315 brake job into a $133 brake job.
