The Takata air bag scourge has hit a large percentage of the automobile industry so hard that the defect has led to undoubtedly the largest recall of vehicles in car history. As much as other car makers have been greatly affected by the problem, Honda Motor Company has borne the brunt of this saga that has led the company to recall numerous brands that fly its flag. The car rating of its fleet took a nose dive since most of them are fitted with the blackballed air bags.
The Japanese car maker on this occasion recalled the Honda CR-V so as to replace the dangerous air bags supplied fellow countrymen Takata Corp, one of the biggest air bag suppliers in the world. Since the safety provided by a vehicle is one of the top figurative boxes to be checked by one in the process of automotive purchase, the Honda CR-V suffered a great deal.
Takata air bags have been found to overly explode in their inflation mechanism. A chemical within the inflators that is responsible for the inflation can do so with too much force thus sending shards flying into the cabin placing the occupants at very high risk of injury.
