Honda to recall about 1 million vehicles in U.S. to replace defective Takata airbags
WASHINGTON - Honda Motor Co said on Tuesday it would recall 1.2 million Honda and Acura vehicles in North America to replace defective Takata airbags on the driver’s side.
Of the 23 total deaths worldwide linked to faulty Takata airbags, 21 have occurred in Honda vehicles. Repairs of the recalled cars will begin immediately in the United States with replacement parts made by alternate suppliers, Honda said. An investigation later showed that manufacturing issues at Takata’s Mexico facility introduced excessive moisture into the inflator during assembly, leading to the problem.
