UICollectionViewCell Unwanted Reusing

In an app that I am building there is a screen where the user selects from a variety of options within a collection view. When one of the cells is tapped it gets a blue border to show it has been tapped. However, when the user scrolls down there are other cells with the same blue border that have not been tapped. I am assuming this is because the cells are reused but I am not sure. How can I fix this?

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    let cell = collectionView.cellForItemAtIndexPath(indexPath)!

    cell.layer.borderWidth = 4.0
    cell.layer.borderColor = self.view.tintColor.CGColor!
}
