Honda Motor Co. is recalling 1 million of its passenger vehicles in China to replace Takata Corp. airbag inflators that might explode when triggered in a crash, according to the government’s safety agency.
The campaigns will include 2007-2011 model CR-V crossovers, Civic and Platinum Rui small sedans and Civic hybrids, according to the Associated Press. The vehicles were produced in China by the company’s 13-year-old venture with Dongfeng Motor Corp.
It wasn’t immediate clear whether the recall targets frontal airbag systems for the driver, front-seat passenger or both.
AP says separately that Malaysian investigators are determining whether misfiring Takata airbag inflators are responsible for two deaths in the country. The company’s devices have been linked to 13 fatalities and about 130 injuries worldwide, prompting 17 carmakers to recall some 100 million Takata inflators.
