Honda expands airbag inflation recall

DETROIT -- Honda Motor Co. is adding more than 378,000 cars to an existing safety recall for air bag inflation problems, the company said Tuesday.

The company will replace the driver's side air bag inflator on the cars because they can deploy with too much pressure, causing the inflator to rupture and injure or kill the driver.

The recall now affects more than 822,000 vehicles, including certain 2001 and 2002 Accord sedans, Civic compacts, Odyssey minivans, CR-V small sport utility vehicles and some 2002 Acura TL sedans.

Honda said it is aware of 12 incidents linked to the problem, with 11 injuries and one death. The company said it is not aware of any problems happening after July 2009.

Surprise, surprise, Turbo posts a negative article about a Japanese company. I don't believe he's ever posted a story about German or American company's recall. Wonder why?

Funny, when VW has a recall, I never see you reporting that. And, if someone does post the story, you try to post another negative article about another Japanese comapny in the same post. How childish and small.

I'm still waiting for Japanese cars to start spontaneously combusting like VWs.......oh wait, isn't there recall for Honda Fits for that? Awesome. Every car should come with a fire extinguisher, just like they come with spare tires.
