The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated on Thursday it has verified 11th death in the United States brought on by a ruptured Takata Corp air bag inflator.
The firm stated a 50-year-old lady passed away after a September 30 crash in Riverside County, California in a 2001 Honda Civic that was first recalled in 2008 and never repaired that belongs to the largest-ever U.S. vehicle safety recall.
In June, the safety agency advised owners of over 300,000 unrepaired remembered Honda cars – consisting of the 2001 Civic – to get instant repair works and contacted owners to stop owning the “unsafe” vehicles till repaired.
