Federal auto safety regulators said Thursday that they are assessing a total
of $70 million in fines against Honda for violating federal safety
reporting requirements.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the two $35 million
fines also come with Honda's agreement to increase NHTSA oversight and
enhance its third-party audits to make sure its reporting is current in the
future.
The two fines were set at the maximum amount that NHTSA is allowed to assess
by Congress for safety reporting violations.
NHTSA said the first fine relates to Honda's failure to report 1,729 death
and injury claims to NHTSA from 2003 to 2014. Honda has previously disclosed
the undercount, saying that its own investigation found that it
misinterpreted what issues should be counted.
The second civil penalty involves Honda's failure to report certain warranty
claims and claims under "customer satisfaction campaigns," in which a
manufacturer quietly agrees to fix defects on cars even when they are
outside the normal warranty period, over the same number of years, NHTSA
said.
The two fines do not directly relate to the scandal over automotive air bags
made by Japan's Takata. Honda has been at the center of the issue involving
air bags that can injure or kill passengers when they deploy, along with
nine other automakers. But Honda has said the audit total includes eight
Takata air bag failures involving one death and seven injuries. It says
NHTSA already was informed of these incidents through other channels.
The fines show NHTSA, an agency under the Transportation Department, is
getting tougher on automakers, officials say.
"Honda and all of the automakers have a safety responsibility they must live
up to, (which is) no excuses," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony
Foxx in a statement.
In a statement Thursday, Honda said it is moving ahead after the fines.
"We have resolved this matter and will move forward to build on the
important actions Honda has already taken to address our past shortcomings
in early warning reporting," says Rick Schostek, executive vice president
for Honda North America, in a statement. "We continue to fully cooperate
with NHTSA to achieve greater transparency and to further enhance our
reporting practices."
In May, NHTSA slapped General Motors with a single $35 million fine for late
reporting on ignition-switch defects in older Chevrolet Cobalts. Millions
of cars with the switches have been recalled and GM is paying compensation
for accidents blamed for them that have caused more than 40 deaths. The fine
was part of the $126 million in civil penalties that NHTSA says it assessed
last year, a record. The agency says the total exceeded the total amount
collected by the agency during its forty-three year history.
When the Justice Department became involved in cases, the settlement amounts
grew. The Justice Department announced a $1.2 billion penalty against
Toyota in March arising from its unintended acceleration cases that led to
recalls of 8.1 million vehicles.
"These fines reflect the tough stance we will take against those who violate
the law and fail to do their part in the mission to keep Americans safe on
the road," Foxx said. | f****t
