Nearly half a million Honda cars are being recalled to have their airbags checked, in the latest safety issue for carmakers. The main market concerned is North America, but other regions such as Australia are also affected. European Hondas are not being recalled. The problem is the potential for the bags to over-inflate and explode, spraying metal. Toyota has been hard hit by 10 million recalls worldwide.
