An airbag-related issue has made Honda tell its dealers to stop sales of certain used cars until a recall campaign to fix the defect is carried out.

Honda took the decision in spite of the fact that federal law requires automakers only to stop selling new cars when a recall campaign is issued, as it does not demand the same for used vehicles.

As reported by The New York Times, the defect airbag has been linked to two deaths and 18 injuries so far. The problem is that the driver’s airbag may deploy with so much force that it can send metal shards into the drivers.

In a service bulletin sent to Honda and Acura dealers about the recall, the automaker said: “Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.”

Last month, Honda announced that its most recent airbag-related recall, the fourth since 2008 on the same problem, applied to the 2001-2002MY Honda Accord, 2001-2003MY Honda Civic and Odyssey, 2003 MY Honda Pilot, 2002-2003 MY Honda CR-V and the 2002-2003 MY Acura 3.2 TL and 2003 MY Acura 3.2 CL.
