WASHINGTON/DETROIT/NEW YORK ¨C Honda Motor Co. said it failed to report more than 1,700 claims of injury or death involving its cars to U.S. regulators, a violation that would be one of the biggest in history and could lead to a fine of $35 million.
In a synopsis of an internal review filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Honda on Monday blamed the underreporting on ¡°inadvertent data entry or computer programming errors¡± that spanned 11 years.
NHTSA hasn¡¯t made the audit documents public yet as it continues an investigation.
