You have been in an accident. Thank goodness the airbags went off . . .
Honda is adding to a massive recall issued last year.
An airbag is required in every modern vehicle made. But they can be deadly. The impact alone is enough enough to cause a concussion. But that is understood and for the most part, expected. Airbags have to deploy incredibly fast in order to do their job — save you from a potentially fatal impact after a sudden deceleration.

That swift deployment is caused by a miniature explosion.
Unfortunately, Honda has been forced to recall their vehicles because that explosion has also sent shards of metal shrapnel out with the airbag and over 18 have been killed by their safety equipment installed on their vehicle. Over 18 people killed and hundreds more have serious injuries as a result of their airbags deploying.
