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.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. SHE HAD NO WARNING, THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THEY STOPPED WORKING DUE TO THE HEAT BUILD UP AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE SAFETY RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL. *AK UPDATED 02/27/07. *JB

MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE DECEMBER 31, 2006. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE NOW DISABLED AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A MINIMUM COST OF $1,300.00. BASED ON THE SAFETY RISKS AND THE NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, HONDA SHOULD ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. *JB

2000 HONDA ACCORD LX - SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND RESET (51,770 MILES), THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH SYSTEM AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE LIGHT HAD COME ON. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THE FRONT AND SIDE PASSENGER AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON. THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA WILL NOT WARRANTY A SAFETY SYSTEM INVOLVING AIR BAGS. *NM
Power train, Electrical system, Jan 19, 2007, crash
CAR KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED LAST MONTH AND AM NOT ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING AN AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I HAVE LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE MOTOR, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR BEGIN ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CURIOUSLY, THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE NHTSA ISSUED RECALL NO. 05V025000. HOWEVER, DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. REFUSE TO REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE ITS VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE THAT HONDA BELIEVES TO BE INCLUSIVE OF CARS WITH THIS DEFECT. UNBELIEVABLE. CAR IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. *NM

SRS LIGHT IS ON I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS REGARDING SRS LIGHT. IT KEEPS COMING ON. I ALREADY TOOK IT TO A DEALER. HE HAD INITIALLY REPLACED OPDS UNIT. EVEN AFTER 2-3 MONTHS IT CAME BACK ON. NOW WHEN I TAKE IT BACK, HE SAYS THERE IS SOME OTHER PROBLEM. ON INTERNET I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA IN NOT HANDLING PROPERLY. *NM
