Honda is recalling 2001 Civic and Accord models. The driver's airbag could produce excessive internal pressure, possibly causing the inflator to rupture. If this happens, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, possibly injuring vehicle occupants.
Dealers will replace the airbag inflator free of charge.
For more information, owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
