According to the Associated Press, Honda Motor Company is recalling 304,000 vehicles around the globe for air bags that may inflate with too much pressure in a crash.

This has been shown to cause metal and plastic pieces to fly and cause injuries and deaths in the case of a car wreck.

The models affected are 2001-2002 models of Accord, Civic, Odyssey, Pilot, and CR-V.

This recall is an expansion of recalls for the same problem that occurred in 2008 and again carried out in 2009 and 2010.  Now, the recall covers about two million vehicles worldwide.

Hajime Keneko, Honda spokesman, said:  “The cause of the latest recall was the use of incorrect material in the chemical used to deploy air bags.  The initial cause of the recall was excessive moisture in the inflator propellant, which is part of what inflates the air bag.”
