.Honda says 16th US death confirmed in air bag rupture

Honda Motor Co said on Friday it had confirmed a 16th US death has been tied to a faulty Takata air bag inflator.[WASHINGTON] Honda Motor Co said on Friday it had confirmed a 16th US death has been tied to a faulty Takata air bag inflator.

The defect, which leads in rare instances to air bag inflators rupturing and sending metal fragments flying, has prompted the largest automotive recall in US history and is tied to 14 US deaths in Honda vehicles and two in Ford Motor Co vehicles since 2009. To date, 56 million inflators have been recalled in the United States in 41.6 million vehicles. Takata, which pleaded guilty to a felony charge of wire fraud to resolve a US Justice Department investigation, filed for bankruptcy protection in June 2017.
