U.S. safety regulator demands output, testing info from Takata

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The top U.S. automotive safety regulator on Wednesday demanded that Japan's Takata Corp <7312.T> provide it with estimates of its ability to produce replacement parts for millions of air bag inflators that are being recalled due to safety concerns.

In a letter to Takata Senior Vice President Kazuo Higuchi, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Deputy Director David Friedman also called on the parts maker to provide details about a program to test inflators "as soon as possible."
