DETROIT — Two air bag glitches have forced Toyota and Honda to recall over 6 million vehicles worldwide, and both problems present different dangers.
The Toyota recall affects about 3.4 million vehicles globally and is being done because the air bags may not inflate in a crash. The cars have air bag control computers made by ZF-TRW that are vulnerable to electrical interference and may not signal the bags to inflate.
The problem could affect as many as 12.3 million vehicles in the U.S. made by six companies.
