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.

Hello, The ignition switch in my vehicle has never worked right. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealership for a airbag recall and was told them about the ignition switch problem and recall. They said they would not do the recall and wanted me to call Honda. I called Honda and was told that I would have to pay for diagnostic fee before they would attempt any repairs for this recall. The Honda case number is 14383356. I refuse to pay a fee for what should be a free recall. If you could please help me with this issue I would certainly appreciate it. The recall information is as follows: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:05V-025 MFR CAMPAIGN ID:P68 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:99-02 ACCORD IGN INTERLOCK RECALL DATE:01/27/2005 Thank you in advance for all your help.

My 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 has a few issues: 1. Front/rear struts, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links. This has caused my car to fail safety tests for the last 5 years. I have received an itemized estimate for these issues from a mechanic. 2. Electrical. The front instrument panel is not working properly. I can not touch any buttons on the dash or the lights on the panel will go off completely. Both of these are a huge safety issue and it is not safe to drive! No lights or warning of any kind regarding these issues!

Electrical system, Jan 3, 2015, crash
I BACKED MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN UPHILL INTO MY GARAGE, TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND STARTED TO GO INTO MY HOUSE WHEN I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE. WHEN I TURNED AROUND THE HONDA WAS ROLLING DOWNHILL TOWARDS MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE, IT STOPPED SHORT OF HITTING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE BY SOME SHRUBS AND A SMALL TREE. NO SERIOUS DAMAGE HAPPENED. I STILL HAD THE KEY IN MY HAND AND WHEN I CHECKED THE HONDA THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN REVERSE. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REMOVE THE KEY IN EACH GEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY IN EVERY POSITION. I TOOK THE HONDA TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID NO RECALL WAS ON MY HONDA FOR THAT PROBLEM AND THAT I HAD NO RECOURSE EXCEPT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ON MY OWN. I ALWAYS HEARD SAFETY RECALLS NEVER EXPIRED BUT I GUESS I WAS MISINFORMED. I LOCATED AN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V025000 THAT STATED HONDA ACCORD 1999-2002 IGNITION KEY INTERLOCK (THE KEY CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION IN ANY GEAR AND THE CAR COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR). POSSIBLY CAUSING DAMAGE OR DEATH? *TR

VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP. THE IS AN INCONSISTENT PROBLEM, BUT IT CONTINUES TO BE MORE FREQUENT. THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, THEN AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT LIGHT BACK UP. WAS INFORMED BY A MECHANIC THAT A BULLETIN WAS ISSUED THAT THIS WAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. A LETTER WAS SENT TO HONDA ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. *JS
