Honda Owners Please Take Serious Note Of This

This is no laughing matter and Honda Malaysia is very concerned with rectifying the fault but needs the cooperation of the owners. Honda has confirmed that the Takata single stage (SDI) driver’s airbag inflators ruptured in two crashes in April and May in Malaysia.

Both crashes resulted in the tragic deaths of the drivers. No official cause of death has been yet determined for either case.

First Incident: A crash on April 16, 2016, in Sabah. Honda has confirmed during an inspection with the Royal Malaysia Police that the Takata SDI airbag inflator ruptured in the crash of a 2006 Honda City. The vehicle involved in this crash was included in a Malaysian Product Update (recall) announced on May 21, 2015, requiring replacement of the SDI inflator of the Takata driver’s front airbag.

Second Incident: A crash on May 1, 2016, in Kedah. Honda also confirmed during an inspection with the Royal Malaysia Police that the Takata SDI airbag inflator ruptured in the crash of a 2003 Honda City. The vehicle involved is also included in a Malaysian Product Update (recall) announced on December 8, 2014, requiring replacement of the SDI inflator of the Takata driver’s front airbag.

Honda is communicating with representatives of the drivers’ families in an effort to resolve their remaining concerns.

A total of 240,832 units in Malaysia are affected by the recalls.
