DETROIT -- Drivers of certain late model Honda vehicles are being told not to drive those cars until the air bag inflators can be replaced as they have a 50% chance of exploding in a crash. According to the Associated Press, Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the “do not drive” warning Friday which impacts an estimated 8,200 Honda vehicles from the 2001-03 model years. More than 67 million Takata air bag inflators have been recalled in the U.S. and Honda says it has replaced about 99% of those in affected Honda models.

The recall impacts Bolt hatchbacks from the 2017 to 2023 model years, however the Bolt utility vehicle is not part of the recall. To correct the issue, dealers will install metal foil along the carpet near the pretensioner exhaust and some models will also receive a pretensioner cover.

The issue with the air bags is caused by ammonium nitrate used in the air bags to create a small explosion which inflates air bags in a crash.
