Malaysia has recorded its fourth death involving airbags by Takata Corp.

Honda Motor Co said the latest death occurred last week when an airbag in a 2009 Honda City ruptured, according to Bloomberg.

However, the exact cause of death has yet to be determined.

The report said the driver's car was recalled in July 2015 but the repair was never completed.

The case brings the total deaths involving Takata Corp's defective airbags to 16.

The airbags are known to spray metal shards when it is deployed.

Since the discovery, Honda, as well as several other carmakers that use Takata Corp's airbags, have issued a global recall.
