WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Federal safety regulators opened an investigation into Honda Motor Co.'s 2008 Accord model after more than a dozen reports of air-bag failures.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents show as many as 384,000 vehicles might be affected by a problem with the air bag control computer module. The malfunction causes the air bag status indicator light on the instrument panel to illuminate, disabling the air bag system until it is repaired.
