Per Associated Press, Honda Motor Corporation (HMC - Free Report) is set to recall around 465,000 vehicles in the United States including Honda and Acura models.

At the same time, another Japanese auto giant, Toyota Motor Corporation (TM - Free Report) , also announced recalling an additional 601,300 vehicles due to flawed Takata airbags. The recalled models comprise Toyota and Lexus models.
Recently, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that Takata will be recalling roughly 3.3 million inflators from various automakers.
As of June 2017, NHTSA had reported that only 35% of the recalled vehicles has been repaired. Further, per the agency, the phased recalls that had begun in May 2016 are expected to continue till December 2019.
