AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #20V027000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The driver's side air bag in your vehicle is designed to deploy in the event of a crash. If you had a replacement air bag module installed in a previous repair, it may be faulty due to a manufacturing issue.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag inflator ruptures in a crash, metal shards could fly towards you or your passengers, causing serious injury or even death. If the air bag doesn't inflate properly, it won't protect you as well as it should, also increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect the air bag and replace the faulty inflator with a new one, free of charge. You'll be notified when the repair is available, and you should schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your safety.

Original — What Happened
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator 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 air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
