- After expanding its recall in the U.S. last week to cover Takata (TKTDY) driver-side air bag inflators nationwide, Honda (NYSE:HMC) now says it will replace potentially lethal Takata inflators across the globe.
- The new move brings the total Takata-related recall tally of all brands to more than 19M since 2008.
- Takata's defective air bag inflators have been found to rupture and shoot shrapnel into the vehicle, and have so far been linked to five deaths.
