John Thune actually said...

Will Takata initiate an investigation and release a public report about whether there was any wrongdoing?

Well, thank you, Senator Nelson, for serving as Chairman of this morning's hearing to examine the alarming Takata airbag recalls and the act...

Does it make sense to have an independent investigation similar to what General Motors did with the ignition switch issue?

There are media reports, as I referenced earlier, that Takata may have been aware of the dangerous airbag defects as early as 2004.
