The driver killed had purchased the Civic less than three months before the crash. Honda said it was unaware of the ownership change and was unable to send recall notices to the latest owner. Earlier this month, Honda said it would recall another 1.2 million Honda and Acura vehicles in North America to replace defective Takata airbags on the driver`s side. The company became aware of the issue after a Honda Odyssey crash, where the front airbag deployed and injured the driver`s arm.
