A video of a woman driving in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province, who suffered an airbag self-explosion and scratched her carotid artery, went viral on the Internet. It is understood that the facility vehicle is the old Honda Accord, the news said that the traffic suspected of a sudden explosion, the airbag ejected, the female driver was cut to the neck, serious injuries and has been sent to the hospital for treatment, the police investigate the cause of the accident.

In response to the vehicle accident, the Public Relations and Communication Section of Guangzhou Automobile and Honda said today that the relevant situation is under investigation and that any news will be announced as soon as possible.

Judging from the video and Internet news, there were no obvious collision marks on the Honda Accord involved, but the airbags in the lead and passenger position had popped up, and when the female driver was rescued, there was open fire and smoke in the car.

As the car is suspected to be a seven-and-a-half-generation Accord model of Guangzhou Auto Honda, it has been on the road for some years, and it does not rule out the phenomenon of aging parts or accident repair. in addition, many netizens pointed out that Honda had assembled Takata defective airbags on a large scale. The 2003-2011 Accord is also a batch of defective airbags recalled. In July 2016, GAC Honda announced a recall of more than 1.8 million vehicles, including Accord models.

In addition, it should be reminded that airbags have a useful life and need to be replaced in about 10 years. Please refer to the vehicle user manual for details. When the airbag exceeds the service life, it is common for the possibility of failure in the collision accident, but it is inconceivable that the airbag has not collided and ejected for no reason.

The specific cause of the accident still needs to be verified by the relevant departments on the past history of the car before it can be confirmed, and the investigation results of Guangzhou Auto Honda manufacturers are also awaiting.
