NHTSA Campaign 20V027000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE

What Happened

The driver's side air bag in your vehicle is the part that deploys in a crash to protect you. In some cases, a replacement air bag made for your vehicle may have a problem that makes it more likely to break or not inflate properly.

Risk if Unfixed

If the air bag breaks or doesn't inflate in a crash, sharp metal fragments could hit you or other passengers, causing serious injury or even death. A broken air bag also might not do its job of cushioning the impact, making the crash worse.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Honda dealer will check your air bags and replace the faulty one with a safer design, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
