The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration fined Honda Motor Co. $70 million for failing for more than a decade to report deaths, injuries and certain warranty claims, the highest penalties ever levied against an auto maker by the agency

The fines are the most since General Motors Co. agreed to pay $35 million to settle an investigation into failing to alert regulators to a deadly ignition-switch problem.

The U.S.'s chief auto regulator slapped Honda with two $35 million civil fines for violating federal legal requirements to alert NHTSA to potential safety problems in vehicles. The first was for failing to submit early warning reports detailing 1,729 injuries and death and injury claims to NHTSA for 11 years between 2003 and 2014. The second was for Honda's failure to report certain warranty claims and other claims under so-called customer satisfaction campaigns during the same period.

"One thing we cannot tolerate, and will not tolerate, is an auto maker failing to report to us any safety issues," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx during a briefing Thursday.

Regulators declined to specify what kinds of problems Honda failed to report. But Honda and other auto makers have been dealing with fallout from defective Takata Corp. air bags prone to explosions that are linked to five deaths world-wide. Honda signed a consent order related to the fines on Dec. 29, regulators said, and will have 60 days to provide further details on the 1,729 incidents it didn't previously report.

A Honda spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
