Japanese auto giant Honda will be recalling 1,90,578 units of some previous models of Accord, CR-V, Civic, City, and Jazz in India due to the issue of faulty airbags. The company's wholly-owned Indian arm HCIL announces that the Takata passenger front airbag inflators are going to be voluntarily replaced in the models in question.
“The replacement will be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India in a phased manner. While the campaign for CR-V and Civic will begin immediately, the replacement of inflators for other affected models would begin from September 2016, and the company will communicate with customers directly,” says HCIL.
The hazardous Takata airbags are not safe at all in excessive hot and humid conditions, and they have injured more than 100 drivers and liable for 13 deaths, notably in the US. According to the updates, CR-V and Civic models are said to be recalled immediately, while the recall and replacement of the remaining three will begin from September.
