Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 17, 2020
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.
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.
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.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT (SRV) CAME ON, AND LOCAL GARAGE CHECKED IT OUT ON THEIR COMPUTER. THEY CAME UP WITH A "CODE 9-2 AIR BAG INTERNAL FAULT", AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT COMPUTER CHECK, AND, IF A FAULT WAS FOUND, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. MY COMPLAINT: FIRST, AIR BAGS BEING SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM, AND THEIR INSTALLATION MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT, I FEEL THAT WHEN A DEFECT APPEARS, A RECALL AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE IS IN ORDER. SECOND, IF THE SAFETY BOARD DOES NOT HAVE A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS TO ORDER A RECALL, THEN AT THE VERY LEAST THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE COMPUTER TEST.

THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC FREE OF CHARGE AND TOLD ME THE ERROR CODE. THEY QUOTED ME $600 TO REPLACE THE MODULE. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR A 2ND OPINION NOT TRUSTING THE 1ST PLACE AND THEY TURNED OFF THE SRS LIGHT MODEL # 77960-584-A93057. I TRIED TO PURCHASE THE PART USED, BUT NO ONE SOLD IT.

I WAS LOOKING UP RECALLS AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BACKSEAT SEATBELT NOT WORKING AND THE RECALLS ON THE SEATBELT ARE FOR THE CIVIC AND NOT THE ACCORD. NOW I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME. THEN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT. I APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE CAR THAT CUT ME OFF, MOVED OUT FROM THE LANE I WAS ON INTO THE NEXT LANE. I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH HONDA CRV. MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 RECEIVED MAJOR DAMAGE . THE FRONT SRS AIRBAGS NEVER FUNCTIONED. THIS COLLISION TOOK PLACE IN THE FREEWAY AT LEAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE FRONT AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT I TOOK MY CAR FOR REPAIRS WHICH CAME OUT TO FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, TOLD ME THAT THE REASON THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A DIRECT HIT, IN OTHER WORDS THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING THE AIRBAGS OR REPLACING THEM. THEY STATED, THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FROM HONDA ON THE AIRBAGS. THE COMMUNITY HONDA DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACED THE PARTS THAT WHERE DAMAGED IN THE COLLISION. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED BADLY, IT WAS PUSHED BACK APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET. I WAS LUCKY, NOT TO HAVE HAD SERIOUS INJURIES. HOWEVER, I DON'T TRUST THE FRONT AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY SHOULD OF FUNCTIONED AND THEY DIDN'T. I, STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HONDA MOTORS U.S.A. SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS AT NO CHARGE. SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THE HONDA ACCORD SE 2000. VEHICLE [XXX].

PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN AIRBAG SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHT AGAIN TURNED BACK ON AND IT TURNED OUT THAT ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WAS AGAIN DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA'S BUT IT WAS NOT A RECALL, I CONTACTED THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED A DEFECT AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE SINCE MY WARRANTEE HAD RUN OUT. IN MAY 2004 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT WITHIN THE ENGINE AND REQUIRED THE EGR TO BE FIXED. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS COULD BE SOMETHING I COULD GET SOME RECOURSE ON AND AGAIN IT IS NOT A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG HONDA ACCORDS. I JUST FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE SOME RECOURSE. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I'VE HAD TO PAY OUT MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CHARGES TO HAVE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS FIXED. IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HONDA FREE OF CHARGE.*AK
