Toyota (TM) said it was recalling 1.7 million cars around the world, including some
popular Corolla, Matrix and Camry models. Nissan recalled around 480,000 cars,
while Mazda added another 45,000.
Honda (HMC), which is recalling more than 1.1 million autos, said the
recall was necessary to replace passenger front airbag inflators.
"It is
possible that the passenger front airbag inflators in affected vehicles may
deploy with too much pressure, which may cause the inflator casing to rupture
and could result in injury," the company said in a statement.
Most of the
recalled cars appeared to be from the 2001, 2002 and 2003 model years.
Honda said it
was aware of one crash in which a passenger front airbag casing had ruptured
after being deployed with too much pressure. The automaker said it was not
aware of any injuries or deaths that may have resulted from the defect.
Honda has had
previous recalls, beginning in 2008, for the same problem in driver's side
airbags.
