未能汇报安全问题 本田被罚款7千万美元
Japanese automaker Honda has agreed to pay a record 70 million U.S. dollars in fines for failing to report accidents and other safety issues over 11 years.
因11年间未能汇报事故与其它安全问题，日本汽车生产商本田同意支付7千万美元巨额罚款。
Honda has failed to tell U.S. regulators of more than 1,700 injuries and deaths linked to potential defects in its cars as well as warranty claims.
The Honda complaints include incidents related to air bags made by Japanese auto supplier Takata, as well as other defective parts.
Honda has recalled more than 5 million vehicles in the U.S. since 2008 to fix a potentially fatal defect in Takata-made air bags.
The air bag inflators can rupture after a crash and injure occupants with shards of metal.
Federal law requires automakers to submit death and injury complaints to regulators as part of an "early warning" system for identifying potential safety defects that can lead to a recall.
