Takata Corp. said there is no evidence to expand a recall for driver-side airbags that would add more than 8 million vehicles at a time when the company doesn't think it can produce enough parts to complete repairs for the 7.8 million vehicles recalled since 2013 for more than two years.

In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Tuesday made public Wednesday, the Japanese airbag manufacturer said the failure was "approximately 0.000006 failures per air bag deployment, which is far below the failure rate in the vast majority of the thousands of recalls."
