In an effort to track down every vehicle with a faulty Takata air bag, Honda plans to work with independent repair shops to flag cars as they come in for repairs.
According to Autoweek, Honda and software provider CCC have a program that mechanics will use to notify customers if their cars are subject to open Takata air bag recalls that haven’t been acted upon.
The Takata defect was so widespread that automakers are going to great lengths to ensure that the 70 million inflators that found their way into U.S. vehicles are accounted for. This approach will help protect those who bought their cars secondhand.
