Honda Motor's U.S. unit said on Wednesday it is recalling 118,000 new U.S. SUVs following reports of three injuries to sudden airbag deployments.

The Japan-based automaker said it is recalling the 2019 Honda CR-V to replace steering wheel wire harnesses and supplemental restraint system cable reels after six unexpected driver airbag deployments that occurred without a crash. There are so many no reports of related crashes, the automaker said.

Honda said, "Metal burrs on the interior surface of the steering wheel may result in a short circuit and overheating of components.

The 21-year-olds of the United States and the United States of America have been responsible for 16 million defective Takata air bag inflators in about 12.9 million U.S.

Honda also said it was recalling 19,000 U.S. vehicles that may have had Takata inflator replacement kits that were improperly installed before May 2018.
