Honda Motor Co is recalling 170,000 more vehicles worldwide after a report of a driver's death in Malaysia involving an airbag manufactured by Takata Corp, the carmaker said Thursday, according to dpa. Of the total, about 99,902 units are being recalled overseas and 70,797 in Japan, a Honda spokeswoman said. A malfunctioning inflator in the airbag may cause it to rupture and spray metal fragments, Honda said. In late October, US regulators urged the owners of 7.8 million cars, including 5 million made by Honda, to "act immediately" on recall notices to replace the airbags made by Takata.
