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.

SRS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER 100,000. SEE HONDA ACCORDS IN THIS YEAR ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THESE PROBLEMS. HONDA DEALER IS TRYING TO SAY BEFORE I EVEN BRING IT IN THAT IT OCULD BE 20 DIFF. THINGS SETTING THIS LIGHT ON. THINK HE WILL TELL ME IT IS NOT COVERED IF IT REALLY IS. THERE ARE SEVERAL TSB'S ON THIS ISSUE WITH MANY DISATISFIED HONDA OWNERS.

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE AND THE SRS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CAUSING ME TO TAKE INTO MY HONDA MECHANIC. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DISCOVERED A TEMPORARY CODE 09-03 INDICATES A MALFUNCTION IN THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT SWITCH. THIS COST ME $75. HE SCANNED THE ENGINE COMPUTER FOR STORED CODES AND RETRIEVED THE TEMPORARY CODE 09-03 OCCURRED 14 TIMES OVER 157 KEY CYCLES. FELT PROBLEM WAS VERY INTERMITTENT AND RESET SHOULD LAST A WHILE OR NEVER RETURN. NOT MORE THAN A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SRS ILLUMINATED. CALLED MECHANIC AND HE SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN AND WE WILL RESET; NO CHARGE. THIS BACK-AND-FORTH CONTINUED FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT JUST BECAME COMPLETELY INCONVENIENT AND HAD TO CONSIDER HOW TO FIX. OPTIONS WERE TO: 1) REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ON AN EDUCATED GUESS WITH NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. COST: $250. 2) CONTINUE THE TEST PROCEDURES THEY HAVE AND REMOVE SEAT AND DISASSEMBLING THE SEAT COVER TO INSPECT THE SEAT BELT WIRING, AGAIN WITH NO GUARANTEE. COST: $225.
