This new update follows a similar announcement by the manufacturer exactly a month ago, that engulfed 46,710 cars. Many leading manufacturers like Toyota, Dodge etc. have been recalling their products equipped with Takata airbags, that is reported to suffer from a faulty driver side airbag inflator module.

The latest recall update made by the Japanese manufacturer involves vehicles made between 2006- 2012. Affected models include the City (2006 to 2012), Civic (2006 to 2011), Civic Hybrid (2007 to 2011), CR-V (2007 to 2011), Insight (2011 to 2012), Jazz (2009 to 2012) and Stream (2007 to 2012).
