Recalls for Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi over faulty airbags and seat belts

[wynode]

Now I'm not sure how the airbag issue is different to the recalls at the start of the year however it looks like there are still issues that "causes shards to fly out when the airbag opens".

The recalls trace back to a single supplier, Tokyo-based parts maker Takata, local media reported. The company also supplies Audi, Daimler, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors.

Toyota Motor will recall 50,738 vehicles, Honda 24,522, and Nissan 35,964 built in 2000-2001 due to problems with the airbag inflator in the passenger seat that causes shards to fly out when the airbag opens, the ministry said.

The recalls affect vehicles built in 2000-2001 including Toyota's popular Corolla, Honda's Fit and Nissan's Cube.

My Accord has been recalled and fixed already. The SRS light is still on and it relates to the driver seat belt buckle assembling...
