The company will recall 2,23,578 cars to replace airbag inflators. The defective airbag inflators were supplied by tainted Japanese supplier Takata. Honda and other Japanese car makers like Toyota and Nissan had to recall lakhs of cars across the world due to defective airbags supplied by Takata. 

The replacement would be carried out free-of-cost at Honda dealerships across India in a phased manner, starting from October 12, the company said. Honda's recall is the largest such exercise in size in the country and beats the 1.66 lakh units that Ford had recalled in India in 2013 to fix problems with some of its mo dels. The exercise will cover 13,073 units of the CR-V manufactured between 2004-11, 54,290 units of Civic produced between 2003-2012, 1,40,508 units of the City made between 2007 and 2012, and 15,707 units of Jazz manufactured between 2009 and 2011 Indian stock market astrology prediction

Problems with Takata airbags have sparked off a massive recall crisis across countries, with a big portion of the recall happening in the US. Some Takata air bags have opened with too much force, sending shrapnel into vehicles.
