Federal agency opens investigation into 2008 Honda Accord air bags - Los Angeles Times
The investigation covers about 384,000 Accords, and the federal agency will look into the scope and frequency of the alleged failure. NHTSA said it received 19 complaints about the issue, including one from Belleview, Fla. Another complaint from Long Beach said the driver purchased the car new and had never been in an accident when the air bag indicator light turned on. The driver said the car was only 4 years old with fewer than 60,000 miles. A dealer said the cost to replace the unit would be about $455. In a statement, American Honda Motor Co. said it was aware of the NHTSA action. "Honda will cooperate with the NHTSA through the investigation process, and we will continue our own internal review of the available information," the company said. Source: www.latimes.com
