<a href="http://autoblog.com/make/honda/">Honda</a> has recalled <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/10/honda-extends-airbag-shrapnel-recall-to-378-758-u-s-vehicles/">hundreds of thousands</a> of 2001-2003 Honda and <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/acura/">Acura</a> models for airbag issues since 2008, and now the Japanese automaker is re-recalling those vehicles. Honda is inspecting 833,000 vehicles for airbags that deploy with too much pressure, which could lead to metal fragments passing through the airbag cushion material. This defect has resulted in 12 injuries and one death since 2010.<br />
<br />
The recall covers vehicles that have already been serviced, as Honda is searching for 2,430 defective airbag inflator parts that were used during the original repair. Since Honda cannot determine which vehicles received the defective part, the Japanese automaker is re-recalling all 833,000 vehicles.<br />
<br />
Among the 833,000 vehicles affected by the recalls are the 2001-2002 <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/accord/">Accord</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/civic/">Civic</a>, the 2002 <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/odyssey/">Odyssey</a> and 2002-2003 <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/cr-v">CR-V</a>. Acura models affected are certain 2002-2003 <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/tl/">TL</a> sedans and 2003 CL coupes.<br />
<br />
This latest news means that Honda has recalled over 1.6 million vehicles for this issue since 2008.
