A computer chip in the airbag control unit could malfunction when it receives electrical noise from other parts in the car, Honda said in a statement. As a result, driver and passenger seat airbags could deploy inadvertently. Honda is installing an electrical signal filter in the recalled vehicles, which will take about an hour.
No crashes have been reported related to this glitch, but several cases of injuries such as abrasions on the hand and fingers have been reported, he said.
Check to see if your vehicle is included in the recall.
