Honda Recalls More than 2 Lakh Cars due to Faulty Airbags

The troubled times for Honda don't seem to end. Earlier, back in May 2015, many Accord and CR-V models were called back owing to the faulty passenger side airbag inflators. The defect caused the airbag to inflate in pressure conditions, thereby shooting out metal shrapnel at the passengers. Now, the company has announced to call back 2,23,578 more units with defective airbags. If you want to know whether your model is in the list or not you can log in to the company's official website, www.hondacarindia.com and enter the 17 digits Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
