TORONTO – Honda Canada announced Tuesday it was voluntarily recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles across the country to replace a driver’s side front airbag inflator.
The auto-marker is recalling certain 2001 through to 2010 Honda and Acura models over concerns about defective airbags made from Takata Corp. in Japan.
The defective airbags have been linked to at least four deaths outside of Canada.
