Another recall exercise by Honda after Toyota Recall.. but it’s luckily that Honda Malaysia is not affected. Hopefully my new car which is another brand will not have all this recall and will not have problem at all! haha.
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Bernama) — Honda models, sold in Malaysia since 2001, are not affected by the Honda Motor Co’s recall of defective supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags in other countries.
This announcement follows the decision by the Honda Motor Co to expand the recall of Honda cars mainly from the United States, Canada and Japan, after reported incidents of airbag failure.
In a statement issued by the company here Wednesday, it said, the total number of vehicles subject to the expanded recall, was 437,763 units worldwide.
The company also said the inflator in the driver’s SRS airbag of vehicles subject to the recall, would be replaced.

Honda expands airbag inflation recall
DETROIT: Honda Motor Co. is adding more than 378,000 cars to an existing safety recall for air bag inflation problems, the company said Tuesday.
The company will replace the driver’s side air bag inflator on the cars because they can deploy with too much pressure, causing the inflator casing to rupture and injure or kill the driver.
The recall affects certain 2001 and 2002 Accord sedans, Civic compacts, Odyssey minivans, CR-V small sport utility vehicles and some 2002 Acura TL sedans.
Honda said it is aware of 12 incidents linked to the problem.
The company said it is not aware of any problems happening after July 2009.
“However, we have concluded that we cannot be completely certain that the driver’s air bag inflator in the vehicles being added to this recall at this time will perform as designed,” Honda said in a statement.
Honda says owners should take their vehicles to dealerships as soon as they are notified by the company in writing.
Notification will begin during the month of February.
Honda says it has kept the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration informed of the problem.
Last month Honda recalled 646,000 Fit hatchbacks worldwide because of a glitch that could cause water to enter the power window mechanism, causing components to overheat.
The Fit recall affects 2007-2008 models. The Fit is sold in other countries as the Jazz and City.
The recall affects Asia, Latin America, Europe, South Africa and North America. About 140,000 vehicles are affected in the U.S. – AP
