Honda recalls nearly 150,000 vehicles in Malaysia

[KUALA LUMPUR] Honda Malaysia said on Thursday it was recalling 147,894 vehicles to replace the front passenger airbag inflator.

The recall would include 2003-2011 models, but would not affect current selling models, it said.

Honda Motor has been recalling cars after auto parts maker Takata Corp agreed last month to declare more of its airbags as defective in the United States. Honda recalled around 784,000 vehicles in Japan earlier this month.
