Honda Expands Airbag Recall More Than 800 000 Cars In U S Total


Honda says drivers-side airbags in many of its 2001 and 2002 Honda and Acura vehicles could deploy with too much force, resulting in injury or death.

Tough guys will say "Hey, I can take a punch"...but thats not what Hondas talking about here. The force involved could shatter the inflator casing and send metal fragments flying through the airbag cushion material and into...well, you and your passengers.

Same basic principle as a grenade.

Honda says its aware of a total of 14 incidents, with one fatality.

This is phase three of this recall. It began sixteen months ago with 4,000 cars, had 436,000 added to it in July 2009 and today 378,758 cars join the list.

Full details are in the official Honda news release.

Even when working properly, airbags are, as now-retired (damn!) Car and Driver Editor at Large Patrick Bedard once noted, the only safety device in our history that comes with a label warning that you could be killed using it properly. A decade ago, he wrote a series of columns about them before finally giving up. Heres the one thats been preserved online. If you have both children and a car with airbags, please...please read it.

When it comes your car to cars, the faster, the better it is.

While manufacturers their vehicles marked with speeds of so and so it is really hard to find delivered the fastest cars simply by looking at the numbers of their makers. This is where the acceleration per verifies hour or 100 miles per hour standstill up to 60 miles. It is possible by testing different cars for their acceleration, the fastest cars in the world rank now.

This is what has done automotoportal.com to come up with the list of the ten fastest cars in the world. Cars for the test, of course, includes the concept of unique cars because of their unfair advantage.

The Lamborghini Gallardo is in tenth place. The Gallardo is Lamborghini "Entry-level" car, if you can to view an expensive car as this an entry-level car.

While its 2.3-liter engine produced only 250 HP, it has a relatively low weight gives the CSR 11.95 seconds up to 100 kilometers per hour of downtime speed.

The CSR is only 555 kg, making the car weight amazing mass 0.5 HP per kilogram for money.

The worlds seventh fastest car is the Pagani Zonda. Pagani, who is currently based in Italy is this mid-engine sports car by the Argentine manufacturer. The company produces annually about 25 Zondas. The drive is German origin, which the Zonda really a international car.

An another Porsche was there, the list of the ten fastest cars in the world. This time, Porsche Carrera GT is in sixth place. The Carrera engine is that a huge 5, 7-litre v10 can rapidly up to 100 kilometers per hour of downtime in 11.6 seconds faster.

A factor for this vehicle is the fact that the Carrera is lightweight carbon-fiber material enables the Carrera to speed up in such a short period of time.

Fifth place went to the McLaren F1 LM. This car is one of the most unique in the world of sports cars. McLaren only five it built fast cars in honour of the five McLaren F1 GTR, which won the famous Le Mans in 1995. The car created, become to the fastest, even though it landed only in fifth place, but the time of 11.5 seconds from standstill, a full 100 kilometers per hour really amazing.

The engine, a BMW gilded V12 engine, a whooping offer 627 HP and a top speed of 240 mph.

Fourth place is occupied by the Ferrari Enzo. The Enzo is the fastest Ferrari of ever, and it is only appropriate that it should be named after the founder of the world-famous Italian car manufacturer. 10.9 Seconds Timeout after the acceleration test Enzo. The uniqueness of the Enzo is possible because, it can only produce 399 Lamborghini in its entire history.

The third fastest car in the world is most unusual in the list. Ariel Atom, which by the Ariel motor company based in Somerset, England, combined the chassis and the body of the car. Indeed, the chassis of the atom is his body. The atom weighs less than the CSR on 456 kilograms and his Honda Civic type-R engine supported by a turbocharger to 300 HP is to driving 100 km / H from standstill in 10.88 seconds.

At the end of the second is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. This is sport, the car than most of his contemporaries is due to the fact that the Interior of the luxury of not only the performance speaks.
