Takata is pushing to double its current output of replacement inflators by September to 900,000 monthly at its plant in Mexico.

Takata recently ramped up its production of replacement inflators for its recalled airbags by 50 percent to 450,000 units a month. The company is now looking to double that number by this fall.

The Japanese airbag maker has been forced to recall tens of millions of airbags globally because they may inflators may explode upon activation sending shrapnel in to the cabin possibly injuring or killing passengers in the car.

The airbags have been attributed to at least five deaths and dozens of injuries in the U.S.

According to Automotive News, the supplier is now promising to increase its production to 900,000 units monthly by September. The company recently completed the construction on two production lines at a facility in Mexico.

While the gesture is welcome, the effect is less than impressive. There are as many as 25 million vehicles globally subject to the recall and even at 900,000 units it would take more than two years to complete the repairs.

Autoliv, Takata’s Swedish competitor, announced it would provide replacement parts to help speed up the repair process; however, when it will begin providing those parts remains to be seen.

Last October, Reuters reported that Honda would buy some its replacements from Daicel, the world’s fourth-largest inflator supplier. Honda has more than 5 million vehicles subject to the recall and was Takata’s largest customer. TRW Automotive Holdings, the world’s No. 3 producer of inflators, has also said it would be willing to produce replacement inflators.

In addition to the driver-side airbag in this case, passenger-side airbags manufactured by Takata have been recalled as well. In all, 10 automakers have had to issue recalls related to the faulty inflators.
