Honda recalls 440,000 cars due to airbag defect

Honda Motor Company announced last week that it is recalling 440,000 cars due to a potential airbag defect. Defective airbags may inflate too much and rupture, causing metal fragments to hit, and possibly kill, the driver. The company stated that at least one person has been killed from the defect and others have reported injuries caused by it.

The Honda recall includes the following vehicles:

• 2001 Accords
• 2002 Accords
• 2001 Civics
• 2002 Acura TL
• 2003 Acura TL

 The defective airbags are located on the driver's side of the cars.

 The defect was first identified last fall. Inexplicably, Honda is encouraging owners who may have defective airbags in their vehicles to wait until they receive a notice in the mail to have the repair made.
