Honda Motor CO Stream: Passenger Side Airbag May Fail To Deploy Correctly
Honda is recalling over 1.5 million vehicles (Stream, Civic, CR-V, Jazz, and Accord models) because the front passenger airbag inflators may have been made with faulty propellant wafers that could cause the airbag to deploy abnormally or the inflator to rupture during a crash. This defect increases the risk of injury to passengers and could potentially cause a fire inside the vehicle. Affected owners should have their airbag inflator modules inspected and replaced if necessary.

Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
