Honda Motor Co said that it will recall 2.7 million older US vehicles in North America for air bag defects, according to Reuters.
Honda said the recalls cover driver front airbag inflators manufactured with non-azide propellant and said “all inspections and repairs will begin in approximately one year, as replacement parts from alternative suppliers are not yet available.”
Honda said it “regrets any inconvenience or distress that this situation may cause to our customers as we seek to resolve this situation. Honda believes that the risk of improper airbag deployment in its vehicles remains very low at this time, but we cannot absolutely guarantee the performance of any recalled part”.
The defect involves a different type of Takata inflator than those that have prompted the largest-ever auto safety recalls worldwide covering more than 42 million US vehicles by 19 automakers with Takata air bag inflators.
