SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's transport ministry said on Thursday it has ordered four automakers to recall 24,808 automobiles that may contain faulty air bags made by Takata Corp (t:7312), given the possibility of injury to drivers.
The recall mainly affected Honda Motor Co Ltd (T:7267) CR-Vs and Accords made between 2003 and 2008, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU) NV's (MI:FCHA) Chrysler 300C, as well as Renault SA (PA:RENA) and Ford vehicles, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in a statement.
Takata is at the center of a recall of tens of millions of cars around the world for potentially deadly air bag inflators that could deploy with too much force and spray metal fragments inside vehicles.
