1.1 million Honda and Acura vehicles received a faulty driver’s airbag as a replacement for a previous recall or had an airbag replaced after a car crash.
The owners of 1.1 million, mostly older Hondas and Acuras are being encouraged to check whether their vehicles are covered by the latest airbag recall. By Hamza Shaban Hamza Shaban Technology reporter Email Bio Follow March 12 at 1:04 PM Honda is recalling more than 1 million vehicles, replacing defective airbag inflators it installed in connection with the biggest safety recall in U.S. history, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday.
Takata airbags have been the subject of recalls since 2008 and linked to at least 23 deaths. The device relied on ammonium nitrate to trigger a small explosion to inflate them during a crash. But in some cars, the chemical burned too quickly, causing a blast powerful enough to spray shrapnel. The defect eventually spurred the recall of 37 million vehicles by 19 automakers.
The agency is urging the owners of 1.1 million Honda and Acura vehicles who’ve already had the airbag inflator replaced or have received a new airbag to check whether their vehicle identification number is on the recall list. Honda and Acura dealers will make the repairs for free, the NHTSA said.Last year, Virginia, Maryland and the District were among 44 state governments to reach a $650 million settlement with the U.S subsidiary of Takata.
Models covered by Honda’s latest recall include the Honda Pilot from 2003 through 2008, the Civic from 2001 through 2005, and the Accord from 2001 to 2007, and the 2009 model year.
