Honda has agreed to pay two separate $35 million fines to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for under-reporting death and injury claims.
The first fine is the result of Honda failing to notify NHTSA of 1,729 claims of injury or death that took place in its vehicles. The second fine is for Honda’s failure to report certain warranty claims and claims under customer satisfaction campaigns through the same time period.
Federal law requires all automakers to submit any potential safety concerns to NHTSA.
