Honda Motor Co has announced it would recall 437,763 vehicles globally over a problem with the airbag inflator for the driver’s seat.
Honda Motors declared an expansion of recalls because of increasing airbag complaints.
The Japanese car maker is quoted in some news reports as saying that its recall expansion drive was to fix concerns over faulty airbags.
The Honda recall includes the United States, Canada, Japan and Australia. The recall list includes 2001 and 2002 models of Honda Accord, Civic, TL, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot and CL in North America and the Inspire, Saber and Lagreat models in Japan. Honda will replace the driver's side airbags in all affected models.
Honda recalled about 514,000 vehicles for the same problem in 2008 and 2009. It recalled about 646,000 vehicles worldwide last month to fix faulty power window switches.
