Japan automakers expand air bag recalls
Associated Press
TOKYO - Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi announced more recalls for the same possibly defective Takata air bags that Toyota recalled earlier this month after one exploded during scrapping in Japan.
Nissan Motor Co. said Thursday it's recalling the Presage, X-Trail and other models totaling 83,000 vehicles in Japan, some 6,000 in China, another 49,000 in Europe and 14,000 in other regions. A recall is coming in North America, but details weren't decided. Honda Motor Co. is recalling 400,000 vehicles worldwide for the Fit, Stream, CR-V and other models.
Mitsubishi Motors Corp. recalled 300 Lancer cars in Japan.
That brings recalls in Japan over Takata air bags to 3.05 million vehicles. Globally, they total more than 14 million.
