Honda to recall 190,578 cars in India to replace Takata passenger front airbag inflators

Honda Cars India has announced that it will voluntarily replace Takata passenger front airbag inflators of 190,578 vehicles of the previous-generation Accord, CR-V, Civic, City and Jazz as part of Honda’s precautionary global recall campaign concerning Takata front airbag inflators. 

The replacement will be carried out free of cost at company dealerships across India in a phased manner. While the campaign for the 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.

Customers can check whether their cars are covered under this campaign by submitting their 17- character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company’s website (www.hondacarindia.com).
