U.S. agency opens probe into 2008 Honda Accord air bag controller

U.S. safety regulators have opened an investigation into air bags on Honda Motor Co’s 2008 Accord sedans after 19 complaints of air bags failing to deploy including in a front crash that resulted in an injury, federal officials said on Friday. The issue involves a module that controls deployment of the air bag. It appears to be a problem separate from that of combustible air bag inflators made by Takata Corp (7312.T) in Honda vehicles.
