AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #20V026000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The airbag inflator in your vehicle is a critical safety device that deploys in the event of a crash. In some models, this inflator may malfunction due to a manufacturing issue, causing it to rupture and potentially send sharp metal fragments towards you, or not deploy properly to protect you.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag inflator ruptures, you could be seriously injured or worse. If it underinflates, you may not get the protection you need in a crash, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect the airbag inflator and replace it with a safer, redesigned one, free of charge. This repair is urgent, and you should schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.

Original — What Happened
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Original — Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
