Yes. The April 13th letter was a follow-up letter to Takata's previous letters. It just added a paragraph saying that they found a 3rd reason (operators were turning off the "auto-reject" test feature) for problems, in addition to the two earlier reasons (employees in one plant leaving propellants on the floor where they got damp, and equipment in another plant not compressing the propellant charges correctly).
