DETROIT, Rajab 18, 1437, April 25, 2016, SPA -- The U.S. government has closed an investigation into Honda's failure to report deaths and injuries, saying that the company has met all of its obligations, according to AP. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted on its website Monday that Honda paid a $70 million fine and took steps needed to make sure similar failures don't happen again. The government fined Honda in December of 2014 in what then was the largest civil penalty levied against an automaker. The company admitted in a consent order that it didn't report 1,729 complaints that its vehicles caused deaths and injuries, and that it didn't report warranty claims. A small number of the deaths and injuries were related to air bag inflators made by Takata Corp. --SPA 22:25 LOCAL TIME 19:25 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
