Honda, Nissan, Mitsubushi recall more cars over Takata scandal

Tokyo

THREE Japanese carmakers will recall more than half a million cars globally to replace air- bag inflators made by Takata Corp, taking the total tally of Takata-related recalls across all brands to around 20 million since 2008.

The recalls announced on Thursday by Honda Motor, Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi Motors correspond with a similar, precautionary recall by Toyota Motor last week, after a recent "unusual deployment" of a passenger-side air bag at a scrapyard in Japan.
