Tens of thousands of Americans still driving cars with defective Takata airbags.

The Washington (DC) Post (4/22, Halsey, 15.03M) reports Honda said there are still 60,000 vehicles equipped with the most dangerous Takata airbags that can rupture and potentially kill the driver or passenger. Honda says that 62,307 vehicles are still equipped with the “Alphas” that have about a 50 percent chance of rupturing if deployed, even in a relatively small collision. Rick Schostek, executive vice president of Honda North America, says Honda is “good at repairing vehicles,” but identifying the current owners and convincing them to bring their vehicles in for repairs “has proved a difficult challenge.” National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Acting Administrator Heidi King told the Senate Commerce Committee last month that while automakers have “made progress” in replacing defective Takata airbags, the “progress is uneven” and “Overall completion rates are not where we want them to be.”
