Japan's transport ministry is forming a special group to track multiple recalls in the country to replace more than 2.5 million faulty Takata Corp. airbag inflators that could explode when triggered.
This ministry says it also will investigate Honda Motor Corp.'s failure to report more than 1,700 incidents of injuries or death involving its vehicles in the U.S. during the past 11 years.
The company blames the reporting failure on internal data collection errors and an "overly narrow" interpretation of the U.S. Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act. TREAD requires carmakers to submit quarterly reports about customer complaints and incidents of injury or death that may be attributable to vehicle safety problems.
