South Korea's transport ministry said earlier today it has ordered four carmakers to begin recalls to replace some 24,800 Takata Corp. airbag inflators that could explode in a crash.
The country's ministry of land infrastructure and transport is targeting 2003-2008 model Honda Accord sedans and CR-V small crossovers, Chrysler 300C large sedans and a variety of Ford and Renault vehicles.
The order is a result of Takata's admission in the U.S. last month that it supplied cars sold there with an estimated 34 million inflators that could misfire. So far eight fatalities and more than 100 injuries have been blamed on the devices.
