Honda Cars India Ltd expands its campaign to replace Takata Passenger Front Airbag inflators in India
New Delhi, Jan 19 (IBNS): Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) on Friday announced that it will voluntarily replace Takata passenger front airbag inflators of 22,834 vehicles of 2013 model of Accord, 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 HCIL dealerships across India in a phased manner starting from Jan 19 and the company will communicate with customers directly, the company said.
The company further said: "The 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)."
It said: "HCIL reiterates the importance of replacing the defective Takata front airbag inflators urgently as they may deploy with excessive internal pressure when activated. The airbag inflator casing might rupture which may result in injury or safety risk to the vehicle occupants."
