More Honda Vehicles Included In Largest Recall In U.S. History
Honda is adding more vehicles to the list.
According to MLive, Honda will be recalling an additional 1.4 million vehicles in the country to "replace Takata air bag inflators". The air bag inflators need to be replaced because some of them have become explosive when activated, and instead of helping to save people's lives in the instance of a car crash, they've sent "metal pieces flying through the cabin when deployed." Takata apparently knew about aspects of the air bag defects and took steps to cover up the failures. Now, Takata's defective air bag inflators are responsible for "the largest [recall] in U.S. automotive history".
Honda is working quickly to address the recalls, stating that about "77 percent of existing recalls" have been repaired and/or addressed already. But, there are lot's of new vehicles that have been added to the recall. To see if your vehicle is included in the recall expansion, check out the list below.
