(MENAFN) The US federal regulators said three large automakers will recall around 2.1 million vehicles to fix airbag defects that may lead to fatal accidents, The Peninsula Qatar reported.
Toyota Motor Corp, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Honda Motor Co have issued three earlier recalls to fix problems with a defective chip in the affected airbag systems.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that a small number of vehicles fixed under those earlier actions had experienced inadvertent air bag deployments after the new recall.
NHTSA blamed the problems it reported yesterday on "electrical noise" in the air bag system. The agency said a fully effective solution to the problem might not be available until late this year.
