According to the U.S. Capitol Hill on February 6, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that Honda will recall more than 750,000 vehicles due to airbag problems.

Alex Ainslie, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall administration, said: "The front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short-circuit and fail to suppress the airbag as intended. ”

Due to a malfunctioning seat weight sensor, the airbag may "unexpectedly deploy in a crash", increasing the chance of injury. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's letter to Honda shows that dealers will "replace seat weight sensors" at no cost, and a letter informing owners to recall their vehicles will be sent in mid-March.

Last week, Toyota said owners of older Corolla and R**4 models should also stop driving their vehicles due to another airbag issue.

"If the airbag is deployed, one of the internal components is more likely to ** and spray sharp metal shards, which could cause serious injury or even death to the driver or passengers," Toyota said in a statement. (Compiled by Yin Xia).
