Honda Motor Co is recalling about 63,200 vehicles due to a defect in driver-side air bags made by Takata Corp.
The recall is just the latest in a series of air bag recalls across the industry that have affected nearly 16 million vehicles to date.
The automaker said it will recall select 2012-2015 CR-V, Civic, Brio and Amaze vehicles, mainly in China and other Asian countries, according to Reuters.
Honda is also recalling vehicles from several countries in Europe, Latin America and Africa, spokesman Teruhiko Tatebe said.
No vehicles are being recalled in North America, according to Reuters.
In the aforementioned affected vehicles, Takata's driver-side air bag could contain an inflator that were manufactured with an incorrect part, Tatebe confirmed.
When an air bag is deployed, there is a chance the inflator could explode with too much force and shoot out metal fragments into the vehicle.
The automaker has not received any reports of injuries of accidents as a result of the problem, Tatebe said.
The issue was discovered after General Motors Co recalled approximately 33,000 Chevrolet Cruze sedans in North America back in June over the same defect, the Honda spokesman said.
GM recalled the Cruze due to an accident in October 2013 that left a Georgia woman blind in one eye. A lawsuit was filed in April earlier this year.
Since November 2008, automakers like Honda, Toyota Motor Corp and BMW have recalled approximately 12.3 million vehicles worldwide due to Takata's driver-side and passenger-side air bag inflators that could explode.
"In most of the past recalls, automakers and Takata found defects in propellants, which burn and emit gas to fill up the air bag when it is deployed," Reuters said regarding the airbag issue. "Some propellants were manufactured with too little force, some were exposed to excessive moisture before they were packed inside inflators, and in one case, not enough propellants were loaded."
Takata has not commented on the news yet.
