Honda Expands Airbag Recall

Under pressure from federal regulators, Honda is expanding a recall of driver’s side air bags to all 50
states, according to the Spokesman-Review.

The air bags, made by Japanese supplier Takata Corp., can explode with too much force, sending metal shrapnel into the passenger compartment.

Takata insists that current recalls covering 8 million U.S. cars in high-humidity areas are sufficient. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants the recalls expanded nationwide after some incidents outside the high-humidity zones.
