SAFETY & DRIVER ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Honda has deployed its Honda Sensing® and AcuraWatch® suites of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies in nearly seven million vehicles on U.S. roads.

FIGHTING COUNTERFEIT AIRBAGS
Honda has led an industry-wide bipartisan effort to enact laws in 32 states that prohibit the trafficking of counterfeit airbags. That means more than half of America is now protected against these dangerous and potentially lethal counterfeit airbags.
