The defect involves a different type of Takata inflator than those that have prompted the largest-ever auto safety recalls worldwide covering more than 42 million U.S. vehicles by 19 automakers with Takata air bag inflators. The campaign covers 2.4 million U.S. vehicles and 300,000 in Canada, Honda said, adding that it has not determined recall numbers for other countries.Honda said all three vehicles “potentially were exposed to unusually high amounts of moisture prior to the rupture events.”

Just wondering which Honda motorcycle has an airbag.

Wrong logo.

How many times has Honda called out an air bag recall in the last five years? I remember something about Takata...

Sales is wagging the dog and making engineers produce shit because it's cheaper, so more profit and shitty products. This is everywhere.

Because journalist would know nothing about cars. They probably take an Uber to work.

2-WHEELERS aren't Equipped with AIRBAGS... CORRECT the LOGO. FAKE NEWS

Why are you using the Motorsports logo though to talk about passenger vehicles?

The image is of 2-WHEELERS DIVISION. Since when are they equipped with AIRBAGS..

Asad_Umar should we do this. Still no air bags in local cars.

Toyota have same suppliers?😅

In addition to Toyota Same manufacturer?

Uhhhh that’s a motorcycle.

How about recalling them because they aren't electric? Running on out dated technology

Holy crap. Takata screwed a lot of people.

The motorcycle logo is just perfect when it comes to cars. How old is the tweeter and what exactly has he/she done so far? 🤦

Why does the image have the Honda Powersports logo, and not their automotive division?
