Japanese carmaker, Honda will recall more than 245,000 vehicles in China over concerns about airbags made by Japanese giant Takata. China's top consumer watchdog said today said Honda and its Chinese joint venture partner Guangqi Honda will start withdrawing vehicles fitted with the potentially faulty airbags beginning October 23 and will include Accord, Fit, City, Crosstour and Everus S1 models. They will replace the faulty airbags for free, said the authority. Takata has recalled some 100 million airbags produced for some of the world's largest automakers, including about 70 million in the US, because of the risk that they could improperly inflate and rupture, potentially firing deadly shrapnel at the vehicle's occupants.Last month, Honda reached a USD 605 million settlement in a lawsuit over defective airbags in millions of cars on American roads.
