A Texas teenager was killed last week when the Takata airbag in her Honda Civic ruptured in a crash, a local police official said Wednesday, bringing the number of deaths linked to the supplier’s defective airbags to 11.

Honda said that the vehicle had been recalled multiple times since 2011, but its airbag was never repaired. The victim’s family, which has owned the car for about five years, said it received no recall notices, local investigators said.

The victim, Huma Hanif, 17, was driving on a state highway outside Houston around 4:30 p.m. on March 31 when she ran into the car in front of her, according to Bob Haenel, an officer at the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office.

Ms. Hanif’s airbag ruptured, sending a metal fragment into the side of her neck, said Danny Beckworth, a lead investigator in the case. She died at the scene, about a seven-minute drive away from George Ranch High School, where she was a student.
