What Happened
Your vehicle's airbag system is a safety net that deploys in a crash to protect you. There's a small metal part that holds the airbag in place, but in some 2009-2013 Pilot and 2011-2013 Odyssey models, this part might be missing.
Risk if Unfixed
If a crash happens and the airbag doesn't deploy correctly because of this missing part, you could be at a higher risk of injury. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will inspect the airbag system and replace the faulty part for free. They'll fix the issue as soon as you bring your vehicle in, so schedule an appointment as soon as you get the recall notice.
