HONDA INSIGHT ( 08/01/2009 – 09/06/2010) DEFECT: The propellant used in certain air bag inflators may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. The excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material possibly causing severe injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag inflator unit.
