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.

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD HAS ITS SRS LIGHTS ON AGAIN AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO PUT THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID "THERES A MALFUNCTION IN MY AIRBAGS, I HAVE TO GO TO HONDA" ($40.00). I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA THAT SAME MORNING (9:30 AM), INFORMED THEM ABOUT MY MECHANIC'S RESPONSE & THAT I COMMUTE A DISTANCE AND DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR, SO THEY TOOK IT IN. AT 4:30 PM, THEY DECIDED TO PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND WOW...THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG SYSTEM ($94.61). NO ACCIDENTS, NOTHING - IT JUST CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HONDA TOLD ME "NOT TO WORRY, THAT MY AIRBAG ISN'T JUST GOING TO GO OFF AS I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY.....IT JUST WON'T GO OFF IF YOU CRASH". REAL SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR. MY DIAGNOSIS: CODE 9-3...DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILURE (ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR: $287.00 PLUS TAX ON TOP OF THE INITIAL $94.00 I JUST GAVE THEM). THIS IS 100% A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY. HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN THAT THEY HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN BROKEN?
