The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered Honda Motor Co. to explain under oath why it failed to promptly report two deaths linked to defective airbag inflators supplied by Takata Corp.
The agency says it suspects Honda of not reporting other safety-related incidents on a quarterly basis as required by the TREAD Act of 2000.
In September Honda hired an outside company to assess its early-warning reporting process after the Center for Auto Safety complained the company had not reported at least two cases of death or injury linked to the Takata inflators.
Honda could be fined as much as $35 million if its fails to comply with the NHTSA order.
