This week, two major automakers have announced recalls involving hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
More than 750,000 Hondas are being recalled due to air-bag related problems.
In documents published Feb. 1, officials said the front passenger seat weight sensor on the vehicles can deploy an airbag unintentionally.
The recalls affect 16 different Honda and Acura models from 2020 to 2022.

There have been no injuries or deaths reported in connection to the recall. Vehicle owners can contact Honda dealers to get the seat weight sensors replaced. Notification letters will be mailed on March 18.
Meanwhile, General Motors is recalling over 323,000 heavy-duty pickup trucks because the electronic tailgates can short-circuit and open.
The company says dozens of complaints have been made, including one minor injury incident.
The recall covers certain Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks from 2020 through 2024.
