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 WIFE OWNS 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE AND HAVING PROBLEM WITH SRS WARNING LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. WE HAD THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND FEW MONTHS LATER IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. IT WAS REPEATED FOR FEW YEARS NOW AND NO USE. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE HER CAR'S FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS THERE ANY RECALL ON THIS ?? IT MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT ENGAGED AND BLOW CERTAINLY WHILE DRIVING. COULD YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM PLEASE ? *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE "SRS" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND STAYS ON WHENEVER THE IGNITION IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS A SWITCH WITHIN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THEY TOLD ME THE BELT AND THE BUCKLE ARE COVERED UNDER THE SEAT BELT WARRANTY BUT THE SWITCH IS NOT COVERED AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST IS NOT COVERED EITHER. THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY IS PART OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED ALONG WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. IN MARCH I HAD TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED. IT WAS NOT THE HEADS AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED IT AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR FOR A MONTH. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE ENGINE COST ME $2,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ESTIMATED PARTS AND LABOR AT $3800. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 7 YEARS 9 MONTHS TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 88,000 MILE AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. *TR

I HAVE 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX. ON HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS ONLY ONE LANE AND I HAD TO OVER TAKE A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE BY MOVING TO INCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM THE BREAKS AND MOVE BACK TO MY LANE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. LATER I FOUND THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY CAR. IT SEEMS TO BE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT IN 70K -100K MILES RANGE. IT IS CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD AND THESE SHOULD BE RECALL OR FIXED BY HONDA. MY HONDA HAS ONLY 80K MILES ON IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH 2 DOOR AND 4 CYLINDER; MILEAGE IS ABOUT 105000. THE CAR HAS THE SRS SIGN ON IT. TOOK IT TO COUPLE DEALERS AND TALKED TO SOME CAR ENTHUSIASTS, AND THEY SAY IT'S AN AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE AROUND 100+ TO DIAGNOSE AND THEN WOULD TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WILL TAKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I FEEL IF IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HONDA. *TR

IT DOES NOT SHIFT FROM 1-2 GEAR SMOOTHLY. IT GOES INTO HIGH RPM (5000) AND THEN JUMPS TO SECOND. THE JERKS ARE VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN ITS SHIFTS GEARS. *TR
