Honda to recall more than 405,000 vehicles worldwide over airbag problem

Honda will install an electrical signal filter in the recalled vehicles.

Honda said today (19 September) that it is recalling about 405,400 vehicles across four countries because of a glitch in a computer chip in the airbag control unit, reports Reuters. The recall includes about 342,000 Odyssey minivans from the 2003 and 2004 model years in the United States and Canada, as well as 63,400 Acura MDX crossovers from the 2003 model year in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia. A computer chip in the airbag control unit could malfunction when it receives electrical noise from other parts in the car, Honda said in a statement.
