American Honda Motor Co. Inc. will pay two fines totaling a record $70 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to report deaths, injuries and certain warranty claims to the federal government.

The automaker was hit with a $35 million fine because it did not notify NHTSA about 1,729 incidents between 2003 and 2014 in which one of its vehicles caused an injury or death. The second $35 million penalty stems from Honda’s failure to report relevant warranty and customer satisfaction claims.
