Airbag synonyms

Because of the possibility of airbag injuries, children should ride in the back seat until they reach adult size.

In affected vehicles, including some 2001 Honda Civics and Accords, the airbag inflator produced too much pressure, potentially expelling metal fragments and causing injury.

Some 1995 models had defective battery issues with a potential for explosion, and 1997 models had airbag systems that were so touchy that any slight shock to the system could set off an accidental airbag deployment.

Never use a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat of a car fitted with an active frontal airbag.

If you own a Honda vehicle, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with recent Honda airbag recalls.
