Honda Motor CO Stream: Passenger Side Airbag May Fail To Deploy Correctly

Honda is recalling approximately 1.46 million vehicles (Stream, Jazz, Civic, Insight, Accord, and CR-V models) in the United Kingdom because the passenger side airbag inflator may deploy with abnormal pressure, potentially rupturing and scattering metal fragments toward the windshield or passenger footwell. The manufacturer will replace the inflator in the front passenger airbag module with a new one.
