Wishcumstrue 6th Gear October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 Honda recalling cars to fix airbags that can kill drivers http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2...ll-airbags.html Honda has had four previous recalls dealing the same issue, which with this latest expansion includes more than 2.5 million vehicles in the U.S. The problem does not affect any vehicles newer than the 2003 model year. Honda Recall 2010: Airbag Problems Add Another 437,000 Vehicles To Recall http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/10/h...g_n_456202.html The company will replace the driver's side air bag inflator on the cars because they can deploy with too much pressure, causing the inflator to rupture and injure or kill the driver. Honda Recalls 304,000 Cars Globally Over Air Bag Concerns http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011...r-bag-concerns/ The recall announced today by the Japanese automaker is the sixth recall since 2008 for the same problem, and brings the total number of cars recalled to nearly 2 million. Honda Expands Air-Bag Recall to 833,000 Additional Vehicles http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/03...ional-vehicles/ That action triggered an inquiry from N.H.T.S.A., which wanted to know why the automaker did not recall those vehicles earlier. However, the agency never took action against Honda. Honda announces global recall for air-bag problems http://finance.yahoo.com/news/honda-announ...-060904594.html "Honda spokesman Hajime Kaneko said the cause for the latest recall was the use of incorrect material in the chemical used to deploy air bags. The initial cause of the recall was excessive moisture in the inflator propellant, which is part of what inflates the air bag." Honda did not confirm if any "Chinese gunpowder" was used in those airbags ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
