Honda Motor Co will continue to do business with Takata Corp, a senior executive at Japan's third largest automaker said on Friday, even as defective Takata airbags threaten to expand a recall already affecting 5 million Honda cars in the US.

Senior Managing Officer Yoshiharu Yamamoto, also head of Honda's research and development unit, said various decisions would be made after gauging the results of the regional vehicle recalls in the US.

Yamamoto was speaking to reporters at a safety technology briefing in Tokyo.
