Honda recently announced it was recalling certain cars in which the driver's airbag inflator pumped too much air into the bag, which can result in the airbag rupturing, sending metallic components through the airbag and into the air. According to NewsNet5 (12/29/11), 12 injuries and one death have been linked to the defective airbag inflators. Honda recently expanded its recall because 640 inflators have not been accounted for and may have been used as replacement parts. An additional 272,000 vehicles have been added to the recall.
Honda vehicles affected by the recall are 2001-2002 Accords, 2001-2003 Civics, 2002-2003 CR-Vs, 2001-2003 Odysseys, 2003 Pilots, 2002-2003 Acura 3.2 TLs and 2003 Acura 3.2 CLs.
Detroit News (12/03/11) notes that as of the December recall, Honda had recalled 2.53 million vehicles in the US because of faulty airbags.
