TORRANCE, Calif. -

Separate announcements from both Honda and Toyota were released yesterday and today, respectively, identifying vehicles from their lineups that are affected by the Takata recall which was expanded toward the end of May.

Honda’s Monday announcement outlined that it will replace, free of charge, Takata passenger front airbag inflators installed in certain 2001-2005 Civic and 2003-2007 Accord models sold in the United States, adding 1.39 million passenger front airbag inflators not previously subject to either a recall or safety improvement campaign.

There is also no change to the national recall of driver front airbag inflators announced by Honda on May 28; here is a portion of the statement from Honda explaining the situation:

In its preliminary announcement on May 28, Honda stated that it would recall a more limited population of vehicles. That announcement, which was based on the specific regional nature of the defect determination made by Takata, indicated that approximately 350,000 additional passenger front airbag inflators would be added to inflators included in an earlier regional action (14V-700). However, the NHTSA subsequently interpreted the Takata defect determination as requiring a national recall and directed Honda to conduct a national recall. As a result, based on the Takata defect determination and the NHTSA's subsequent directive, Honda decided to conduct a national recall that will include approximately 1.39 million inflators not previously subject to recall or safety improvement campaign (this includes the estimated 350,000 inflators mentioned in the preliminary announcement). According to currently available information, this results in a total of approximately 2.3 million passenger front airbag inflators now requiring replacement in this action.

Importantly, approximately 915,000 of the affected Civic and Accord vehicles included in existing passenger front airbag inflator recalls and Honda's voluntary safety improvement campaigns (13V-132, 14V-349, 14-353 and 14V-700) will transition into the new recall. The same free repair – replacement of the passenger front airbag inflator – will be completed under the new national action.

NOTE: Today's announcement does not alter the nature or scope of the national driver front airbag inflator recall that also was announced on May 28, 2015.

Honda says registered owners of affected vehicles will be notified via mail within 60 days.

On the Toyota front, the company announced it is recalling approximately 1,365,000 additional 2003-2007 Corolla and Corolla Matrix; 2005-2006 Tundra; 2005-2007 Sequoia; and 2003-2007 Lexus SC430 vehicles that also may be affected by recalled Takata front passenger airbag inflators.

“Toyota’s focus remains on the safety and security of our customers, and we will continue to respond promptly to new developments so we can resolve issues for them as quickly, conveniently and safely as possible,” said Dino Triantafyllos, Toyota Motor North America’s chief quality officer.

Toyota says that all known owners of Toyota and Lexus vehicles affected by the recall will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota/Lexus dealer, where the recalled airbag inflators will be replaced with a newly manufactured one.
