Honda extends airbag recall by 437,000 cars
Honda has been dealing with the airbag problem since 2008
Honda has added 437,700 cars, mainly in North America, to its existing global safety recall over airbag inflation problems.
It broadens a recall announced in late 2008 for less than 4,000 Accord and Civic sedans, then expanded in mid-2009 to cover another 510,000 vehicles.
The latest announcement also covers Japan, Mexico, Taiwan and Australia.
The fresh blow to Japanese carmakers came as Toyota recalled nearly half a million hybrid cars over faulty brakes.
Toyota has already had to bring millions of other vehicles back to dealerships amid accelerator and floormat problems.
We cannot be completely certain the airbag inflator will perform as designed

Mardell's America: Toyota's woes
The scale of Toyota's recalls will be of particular interest to other car manufacturers, according to David Leggett, editor of the website Justauto.com.
"Toyota have been keen to cut costs by increasingly using common parts in different models. If a part goes wrong in one model then other models will need to be recalled," he said.
"I'm sure lots of other car manufacturers will be keeping a very close eye on what's happening with Toyota."
Recalls within the car industry, however, are not uncommon.
"They happen pretty regularly," said Jay Nagley, an industry analyst with Redspy Automotive.
"At the moment they are in the news because of what's happening with Toyota, but if Honda had done its recall months ago no would have heard about it.
"Everyone's looking for the next recall, but it's business as usual for carmakers despite what's in the news."
Airbag inflator
Honda - Japan's second-biggest carmaker - said the defective airbags can overinflate and burst, spraying potentially deadly metal shards.
The carmaker said the inflators were at risk of rupturing, "resulting in metal fragments passing through the airbag cushion material and possibly causing injury or fatality to vehicle occupants".
The fault has already been linked to 11 injuries and one fatality.
Honda said in a statement: "We cannot be completely certain that the driver's airbag inflator in the vehicles being added to this recall at this time will perform as designed."
Its shares fell in Japan after the announcement.
The recall will apply to 2001 and 2002 model-year Accord, Civic, Odyssey, Pilot, CL, CR-V and 2002 Acura TL vehicles, the firm said.
The company says owners should take their vehicle to an authorised dealer as soon as they receive notification from Honda.
The carmaker's latest recall affects 378,000 cars in the US and 41,000 in Canada.
It extends to 4,000 vehicles in Japan and 13,000 from other countries, including Mexico (9,000), Taiwan (1,300) and Australia (700).
HONDA RECALLS
Nov 2008: Airbag propellant problem reported in US. Recall of 4,200 cars
June 2009: Similar airbag problem reported, recall widened to 508,000 cars mainly in US
July 2009: Japan recalls 1,532 cars
Feb 2010: 419,000 recalled in US and Canada; 17,000 in Japan and other countries
The Japanese-only models are Inspire, Saber and Lagreat.
Just last month, Honda had to recall 650,000 Fit hatchbacks worldwide to fix a switch defect that could cause a fire.
It said the fault could allow water to enter the power window mechanism, making components overheat.
The Fit is sold as the Jazz and City in other countries. That recall affects Asia, Latin America, Europe, South Africa and North America.
For Toyota, the problems continued as a US Congressional committee cast doubts on its plans to fix accelerator problems.
A memo to lawmakers cited "substantial evidence" of redesigned floormats failing to stop the pedals sticking.
On Tuesday, Toyota recalled 436,000 hybrid vehicles worldwide, including its latest Prius, to fix brake faults.
That comes on top of more than 8 million Toyotas recalled since last October for problems with slipping floormats and sticking accelerator pedals, linked to crashes that have killed at least 19 people.
Toyota's UK centres begin repairing the accelerator pedals on 180,000 vehicles on Wednesday.
They have the capacity to fix 6,000 cars a day, meaning it will be a month before the process is complete

但是你再看看国内的报道，哈哈，那真是去除精华，留其糟粕。。。全变了样了。
还和我们同事聊呢，他们说GM(通用汽车）意思是General Mistake or Gevernment Motor, FORD（福特汽车）意思是Failed Operation Repair Daily, 哈哈。。
为什么说两田的招回和国内品牌车的质量好坏没有比较意义呢？美国有非常详细精确的事故报道纪录流程，每一起小的事故（任何的，包括超速）都会在警察那纪录，通过系统传到各个保险公司或第三方记录公司，数据在各个保险公司和一些数据分析公司进行处理，定期有关于性能，故障，事故等的分析报告，任何人/团体/政府都可以获得（有免费的，很多要付费），比如这次丰田刹车加速的问题，据说一家交通事故分析公司的报告显示丰田和加速有关的事故有1000起左右（19起有人员injury or death，看一个新闻报道里说的，没有说是多长时间累计的），和丰田汽车以前的记录有显著增长，至于是不是直接和刹车质量相关，没法给出确定的统计资料。联系到每年有两百万辆以上的北美销售量，这个数字的统计质量还是不错的（故障率在200ppm以下，伤亡事故10ppm都不到），你觉得他们的汽车的质量怎样？ 如果同样的记录统计方式在中国，不知道那个国内的品牌可以做到？
相信日本和欧洲的情况差不多，总而言之，召回对欧美日来说是丰田走下神坛，降落人间，至于说别的品牌能得利，很难下结论。在北美，过去30年汽车行业里的事情大家太清楚了，GM,Ford, Crysler, 质量怎样，欧洲车的性价比怎样，日本车质量和性价比怎样，不是一次普通的招回就可以颠覆的。马照跑，舞照跳，这就丰田车召回风波在北美的目前情况，千万别信中文媒体报道，特别是中国国内的报道。
刚刚看了丰田新的北美的宣传广告，再一次提醒大家，10年前的丰田车还都在路上正常的行使，召回是因为丰田最CARE顾客，丰田的股票也强劲回升，看来丰田在反击了。。。
