A Japanese multinational company, Honda Motor Company, manufactures vehicles as well as motorcycles and power equipment. They were the first Japanese company to release a luxury brand of cars when Acura hit the market in 1986. A major producer of engines, Honda makes more than any other company in the world. Its engines have won the Indy 500 more times than any other manufacturer.

Honda Recalls
The largest recall in Honda’s history has been the Takata airbag recall with defective airbags releasing dangerous shrapnel during deployment. In 2019 they recalled certain CR-V models for welding issues between the fuel tank and vapor line. Several different models of vehicles made in 2018-2019, including the Accord, Acura NSX, Acura RDX, and Acura RLX, have been recalled for a low pressure fuel pump, which can lead the engine to stall while driving.
