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 EX V6 WITH ABOUT 94,000 MILES HAS THE SRS LIGHT ON PERMANENTLY. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE PROVIDED TO ME BY THE DEALER IS 5-8, WHICH IS INTERNAL SRS FAILURE, AND REQUIRES THE SRS UNIT TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT WARRANTY EXTENSION (CAMPAIGN CODE Q08, SERVICE BULLETIN 06-009) FOR OPDS. GIVEN THAT THE PART IS INTEGRAL TO THE SAFETY SYSTEM, IT SEEMS THAT SHOULD HAVE A MUCH LONGER WARRANTY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT IN TWO YEARS, AND PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS WERE MINOR REAR END COLLISIONS (IMPACTING THE REAR OF MY CAR). THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO CAUSE THE SRS LIGHT TO REMAIN ON. *TR

I BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD THIS SEPTEMBER. IT HAD A REBUILT TITLE DUE TO MINOR DENTS AND BLEMISHES TO THE OUTSIDE. NO MAJOR WRECKS. LOOKED AND SEEMED IN GOOD CONDITION. DEALER ASSURED ME THAT ALL OF HIS CARS WERE INSURANCE CLAIMS DUE TO MINOR EXTERIOR WEAR. HE DIDN'T TAKE ANY CARS THAT HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN WRECKS. HE WAS AN "ENGINEER" AND DIDN'T NEED TO SCREW PEOPLE OVER FOR MONEY. I HAD MY MECHANIC INSPECT IT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT HAD A 30 DAY RETURN POLICY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE WAS FINE BUT THERE WERE MINOR THINGS I NEEDED SUCH AS; NEW ROTORS, NEW TIRES, AND SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. HIS SECRETARY SAID THESE WERE ALL OPTIONAL THINGS TO HAVE FIXED. 1 MONTH LATER...THE RADIATOR GOES BAD AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY REGULAR MECHANIC CHARGES ME $600.00 DOLLARS FOR THE PROCEDURE. I COMPARE PRICES AND FIND A BETTER PRICE FOR THE SAME RADIATOR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY REGULAR MECHANIC STILL CHARGES ME $70.00 FOR HIS OPINION. I GO TO THE CHEAPER PLACE, GET A NEW RADIATOR AND HAVE MY ROTORS REPLACED. SINCE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER OWNING THE CAR I NOTICE THAT THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. A $80.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS PERFORMED AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. MY MECHANIC DIDN'T NOTICE IT WHEN HE DROVE IT. I STILL DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS WORK! A MONTH AFTER THAT..TRANSMISSION GOES BAD WHEN IN REVERSE. MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING OF METAL SOUND AND LURCHES WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH I HAVE NO WAY TO PAY FOR. LUCKILY, IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM DURING THE COLD AND/OR WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE. IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND MYSELF! BECAUSE I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE ASSURE ME THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE, ONLY TO FIND OUT ABOUT OR HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM OCCUR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY MYSTERY CAR! I BOUGHT A HONDA AFTER BEING A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY HAD THE BEST REPUTATION FOR LONG LASTING VEHICLES. I'M THINKING I MADE A MISTAKE. PLEASE HELP LESSEN MY WORRIES. *TR

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX-V6. MY SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT RESET BY THE DEALER, AND IT COST ME $100. THEY ALSO CLAIMED IT WAS MY FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN BUMPED OR HAD AN ACCIDENT SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, SO I FAIL TO SEE HOW THAT COULD BREAK. NOW, THE SECOND TIME, THE SRS LIGHT HAS AGAIN COME ON AND HAS BEEN ON MY DASH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT I WILL NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONAL DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IF EVER I AM HIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SRS LIGHT SITUATION ON YOUR SITE AND MANY OTHERS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WARRANTS A RECALL, AS THE DEALER IS SET TO CHARGE ME CLOSE TO $400 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND STILL CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG-TERM.

I OWNED A HONDA ACCORD 2000 EX MODEL. WE BOUGHT FROM DEALER AS NEW.5 YEARS AGO, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER IN ATLANTA GEORGIA (BEFORE WE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA), THEIR SERVICE ATTITUDE WAS EXTREMELY BAD. AND TOLD US THAT WE NEED TO PAID FOR OUR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND COULD COST US $1,500 TO FIX IT I WAS EXTREMELY MAD AND CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE IN TORRANCE. THEY WERE VERY BAD TOO. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. THE SERVICE WAS OUTRAGEOUS BAD. THE SRS CONCERN THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG AND SHOULD BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT SO MANY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

SRS LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 80,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERYTHING FROM IT WAS NO BIG DEAL, YOUR AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT DANGER, IF IT COULD BE FIXED, AND IF THERE WAS A WARRANTY COVERAGE ISSUE. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE COVERED BY A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF CASES ON THE WEB OF PEOPLE WITH ACCORDS ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX INDICATING FAILURE HAS ILLUMINATED FOR THE SECOIND TIME. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO MY HONDA DEALERESHIP AND THEY REST THE LIGHT, 1 MINUTE JOB FOR $100. THEY SAID IF IT GOES ON AGAIN I MAY NEED A NEW SYSTEM WHICH CAN RUN UP TO $1000 OR MORE. IF THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENT AS DEFINED BY NHTSA, WHY IS NOT COVERED BY A LIFETIME WARRANTY? *AK
