NHTSA probes timing of Honda airbag recalls
Posted on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 2:12 PM EST. (Employee News)
Honda Motor Co.’s recalls of 444,000 Accord and Civic vehicles for potentially lethal air bag defects are under investigation by federal safety regulators, the Automotive News reported.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it wants Honda and Takata Corp., the air bag supplier, to help explain why the automaker didn’t include vehicles from the second recall in the earlier one nearly eight months before, the trade paper said. The agency “requires additional information from Honda and Takata to more fully evaluate the scope and timeliness” of Honda’s recalls for the same defect, NHTSA said in a posting today on its Web site, the Automotive News said.
NHTSA, a Transportation Department unit, opened the investigation Monday, Nov. 2, according to the posting. Honda denied any wrongdoing and said it would cooperate with NHTSA’s probe, the story said. (Automotive News)
