Honda Atlas faces criticism over airbag replacement promotion
Public backlash
Honda Atlas faced public criticism over the tagline for an airbag-inflator replacement offer. The article reports that critics objected to the safety-priority message in light of the absence of an airbag in the fifth-generation Honda City sold in Pakistan.
Source excerpt
Although it is a positive gesture, the promotion’s tagline “your safety is our top priority” seems to be receiving a lot of criticism from the public.
Ironically, the fifth Honda City — which has been sold brand new in Pakistan for the last 12 years — does not have an airbag, which implies that Honda Atlas’ marketing statement goes against its business practices, especially in the Pakistani market.
