Nearly 93,000 more Hondas recalled for airbags

Honda has announced another recall program for defective drivers' airbags, extending the number of cars affected by almost 93,000.

The importer has gone to the trouble of posting a message concerning the global airbag recalls for parts supplied by Takata and admits that this has created a shortage of replacement parts, which will slow down the rate at which the vehicles affected can be rectified.

For this reason, Honda Australia will contact vehicle owners by mail once the parts are available.

In the latest campaign, the vehicles being recalled are:
2010-12 Insight: 1,298 units
2006-12 Jazz (petrol): 43,743 units
2012 Jazz Hybrid: 3 units
2009-12 City: 7,737 units
2007-11 CR-V: 39,493 units

As a consequence of long-standing quality control issues at Takata's manufacturing facilities in North America, numerous importers have issued recall notices globally – including in Australia. These are the latest details to date:
