Head restraints in several passenger vehicles provided marginal or poor protection against neck injuries and whiplash, the insurance industry reported today in new crash test results. Only 22 of 75 vehicles tested in a simulated rear crash at 20 miles per hour received the top score of good from the Virginia-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The only Honda that received a top score that was tested was the Honda Civic (all models).
However, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Acura TSX had poor protection.
