Honda Motor Co said on Thursday that a driver in Malaysia had died after a July accident involving an air bag supplied by Takata Corp, and widened its recall for the defective air bags by another 170,000 vehicles. In the fatal accident, involving a 2003 Honda City model, the air bag inflator ruptured and sent shrapnel into the vehicle, some of which struck the driver, Honda said, adding it was not clear whether the woman driver was killed by the air bag explosion or another cause, citing a local police report.
