What Happened

Risk if Unfixed
If more than one rivet is missing, the airbag might not deploy properly in a crash, which could increase your risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect the airbag module and replace it if needed, at no cost to you. You'll need to schedule an appointment with the dealer as soon as possible.
