US auto regulator closes airbag defect petition in about 807,000 Honda Odyssey cars
On September 29, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced it had closed a petition alleging airbag defects in 806,963 Honda Odyssey vehicles produced between 2011 and 2017. The agency determined there was insufficient evidence to support a formal investigation into the issue. Consumers had reported concerns about airbags deploying without sufficient triggering events, as well as inaccurate diagnostic information being recorded by the airbag system.
The NHTSA reviewed consumer complaints and other reports but did not identify a clear pattern or factor linking the incidents. Additionally, the agency stated it was not aware of any crashes or severe injuries resulting from these alleged airbag deployments.
