Honda Motor Co. is recalling 1.4 million Acura and Honda brand vehicles in the U.S. to replace Takata airbag inflators that could explode when triggered by a crash.
The campaign is the fourth and final installment in a staged recall of 12.9 million vehicles to replace their driver and/or front passenger front airbag inflators. The new recall targets passenger-side front airbag inflators, including about 400,000 that were replaced previously.
