Now Renault recalls 646 cars in India over faulty airbags

Renault India is set to recall 646 cars in India to fix faulty airbags. The recall is specific to 26 units of the Scala sedan and 620 units of the Pulse hatchback, manufactured between September 2011 and July 2012. The cars have been equipped with airbags supplied by Takata Corp, the world's second largest supplier of airbags and seatbelts.

The Scala and Pulse are manufactured as the Sunny and Micra, respectively, by Renault's global alliance partner, Nissan. It may be recalled that the Japanese company had recalled its offerings in October 2014.

Takata airbags are also used by other manufacturers. Toyota and Honda are among the manufacturers who have issued recalls for their vehicles to rectify the same problem.
