Honda Motor Co. is recalling 4.5 million more vehicles globally because of faulty Takata air bags, expanding the industry's largest recall ever.
This round of recalls involves vehicles ranging from the Fit small car to the CR-V cross-over, though the Associated Press reports it won't affect U.S. drivers. Previously, various Camry and Accord models were affected.
How do you know if your Honda vehicle is part of the massive recall?
Jeff Green is the Detroit Bureau Chief, covering auto safety for Bloomberg News. He told Take Two that the best thing Honda owners can do to find out if their vehicle is part of the recall is to go to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) number.
