Honda have now expanded its recent recall to add a further 440,000 cars due to a lethal airbag defect. Those vehicles affected are the 2001 Civic, 2001-2002 Honda Accord and the 2002-2003 Acura TL. There have been 6 known injuries related to the airbag fault, including one death.

According to CNN Money, the recall means that those cars affected will have to have its steering wheel removed so that its airbag inflator can be replaced. A few cars have suffered this fault with the airbag inflating due to the inflators becoming over-pressurized.

Honda has said that metal fragments could pass through the airbag; this could then fly out and cause an injury to the occupants in the vehicle. Owners of these affected vehicles will be contacted within the next few months for repair.

What’s the point of having a high revving sports car if you can’t push it to the limit on ordinary roads? Of course, most supercars can also be driven slowly to cruise past busy spots so that majority of working class folks would look on in envy, but paying off a speeding ticket (or tickets, depending on your luck) just because you wanted to let ‘er rip down that straightaway is a bummer. Escort hopes their Redline radar detector ought to prevent that from happening to you ever again since it features dual antennas that make the range a whole lot longer compared to other radar detectors. So long, in fact, that Escort proudly claims for it to recognize radar and laser signatures from as far as 13 miles away. No idea on how much truth is there, but the $499.95 investment you make here could save you thousands in speeding tickets sometime down the road.

The only thing known about the Cowon E2 is the picture you see above. Judging from it, the E2 will be small and most likely not have a screen. If the weird hiroglyphics on top has something to do with anything it might mean it uses various blinking lights to tell you what it wants, kinda like the Samsung S2 and R2D2.

If I'm to venture a guess, I'd say this will be a stick player that will be something in between a third generation iPod shuffle and the old Cowon T2. It's hard to judge the size of the thing from the picture, but it looks an awfully lot like a pendant, which is possible if it's the size of the iPod shuffle. No matter what, it's nice to see Cowon updating their somewhat forgotten stick player players, as epic players such as the Sansa Clip killer Cowon U2 has long been forgotten by the MP3 player community. I'll keep an extra good eye on this one for when Cowon releases some actual specs.
