A truck transporting Takata Corp. airbag inflators and propellants that are at the center of a global recall exploded in Texas last week, resulting in one death and four injuries, the embattled auto parts supplier said today.

The truck operated by a subcontractor was travelling to a Takata plant in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Monday, Aug. 22, when the accident occurred, causing an explosion which incinerated one home, local media reported.

A Takata spokesman in Tokyo was unable to confirm the date and location of the accident, but said the truck was carrying airbag inflators and propellants containing ammonium nitrate, the volatile chemical compound linked to the supplier's exploding airbags, and that the blast killed one woman.
