One of the major business stories yesterday was the announcement by Honda that it will no longer buy air bags from Takata Corporation. The announcement came after a number of problems and deaths from faulty air bags supplied by Takata.
This is a very visible example of how a large, publicly-traded and financially successful company can immediately become a credit risk because of an unforeseen event. I hope that suppliers to Takata are carrying credit insurance because with Honda no longer ordering, cash may get tight!
