Mazda Motor Corp. has expanded an earlier recall of 38,000 cars in Japan to 75,000 to replace Takata Corp. airbag inflators that could explode when activated, Reuters reports.
The company also is expanding two earlier recalls in the U.S. to now cover 472,100 cars and light-duty pickup trucks sold there. Some vehicles in the widened recalls will have their Takata inflators replaced again.
Mazda's expanded campaigns in both markets are in response to Takata's disclosure last month that 34 million vehicles in the U.S. alone should have their airbag inflators replaced. The company says it has now recalled some 811,000 vehicles worldwide to fix the inflator problem.
