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

Honda is recalling approximately 155,675 vehicles including Civic, CR-V, Stream, Jazz, and Accord models in the United Kingdom because the front passenger airbag inflators may have been made with defective propellant wafers. If these inflators activate in a crash, the airbag may deploy abnormally or the inflator could rupture, potentially causing injury or fire. Honda will inspect and replace the airbag inflator module in affected vehicles.
