Mazda Motor on Thursday said
it was recalling about 1.57 million vehicles worldwide over potentially lethal
airbag inflators.
According to the Japanese
car maker, the latest recall includes the Delica, RX-8 and Demio subcompact,
which is known abroad as the Mazda 2.
“The recall covers 491,000
units in Japan and many were also being recalled in China and the U.S.,’’ a
Mazda spokeswoman said.
However the carmaker
declined to provide breakdowns.
Report says the airbags made
by Takata can rupture explosively in a collision, spraying metal fragments at
passengers as well as drivers.
No fewer than 13 deaths and
hundreds of injuries have been linked to the defect worldwide.
