| Honda Fined for Violations of Safety Law | -88 | 2015-01-09 00:00:00 | It was intended to give the safety agency better access to accident data and more leverage over the industry. And in October, the agency fined Ferrari $3.5 million for failing to submit Early Warning reports on fatal accidents.

In a sharp escalation of penalties against automakers that skirt safety laws, the nation’s top auto safety agency has fined Honda Motor a record $70 million for grossly underreporting fatal accidents and injuries to the government, regulators said on Thursday. | HMC | {"Danielle Ivory"} | 91 |

| Honda's record $70m fine for driving deaths draws shrugs from consumers | -62 | 2015-01-12 00:00:00 | While Honda can put the NHTSA fine in the rearview mirror, plenty of trouble may still loom down the road. The government may punish a car company, but customers don’t necessarily follow suit. A dozen auto makers have recalled about 18m cars with Takata airbags; Honda is the most effected, having recalled 5.7m. The $70m fine “is just the opening act of what Honda is going to face”, said Jason Vines, a crisis management expert who spent two decades in the auto industry. But at Honda dealerships around the country, the record levy barely seems to be causing a ripple. | HMC | {"Neal Boudette"} | 1103 |
