The statement said, when inflating, the vehicle occupants' airbag could over-pressurize during deployment.

"The increased internal pressure could cause the inflator casing to rupture, and fragments could possibly cause an injury to vehicle occupants," according to the statement.

Honda would replace the vehicle occupants' airbag inflators on the recalled cars free of charge, said the statement.
