Mazda Motor Corp on Thursday filed a recall for 75,000 cars in Japan to replace air bag inflators made by Takata Corp (7312.T) after the Japanese supplier was ordered to expand a multi-million-vehicle recall in the United States. Of that, about 38,000 had previously been called back for investigative purposes in December, a Mazda spokesman said. Mazda’s latest move follows similar actions taken last week by Honda Motor Co and other automakers as part of an expanded recall by Takata to comply with demands from U.S. auto safety regulators.
