Honda has recalled its 2001 model year Accord and Civic due to excessively pressurized airbags. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that certain airbags in the affected vehicles can deploy so violently that the inflator will rupture. Owners of 2001 Accords and Civics will be able to bring in their car to the local Honda store where the inflator will be replaced for free of charge. [NHTSA]
