Toyota for the largest number of recalled vehicles in 2011.
Wards Auto reports that Honda expanded an airbag recall to encompass a total of 2.5 million million vehicles last year, pushing the total number of recalled units to 3.9 million vehicles over 17 campaigns. Previous estimates put
Toyota at the head of the recall pile with 13 campaigns covering 3.5 million vehicles.
The airbag recall covers some of the most popular Honda models, including
Civic, <a href="

Accord sedans manufactured between 2001 and 2004, as well as the
CR-V and
Pilot. The Acura CL and
TL were also included.
Toyota, meanwhile, found itself correcting issues with accelerator pedals and floor mats associated with the company's unintended acceleration woes. Toyota had found itself leading the largest number of recalled vehicles for two consecutive years prior to 2011.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;">
