According to Yahoo News, the latest round doesn’t include previously recalled Acuras and Hondas. The suspect here is an airbag canister originally thought to be safe by Honda and the NHTSA.

The reported incident involved a 2004 Honda Odyssey minivan, with the accident investigation revealing that the defective airbag canister exploded with excessive force, generating flying plastic shards, thus resulting in an arm injury.

Honda will begin mailing notification to affected owners in early April 2019.
