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.

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. CREATING A CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND IS COVERED BY LAW AS STATED BY NHTSA ON THERE WEB SITE UNDER VOQ AND RECALL BOOKLET. THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION CREATES A SITUATION IN WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH AND CRITICAL INJURIES TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. THEY REFUSE 100% TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION. THEY REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO A DEPT. SUPERVISOR. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE DEPT. SUPERVISOR NEVER CONTACTS OR SPEAKS TO ANY CUSTOMER. STATING THAT THIS WAS THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS. I SPOKE TO MR. TODD YAMATSUKA AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. AT AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I TOLD HIM MORE THAN ONE TIME THAT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION WAS A CRITICAL SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AND I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT BY REFUSING TO REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION WOULD BE A VIOLATION UNDER NHTSA LAW REQUIREMENTS. HE EVEN OFFERED ME WHAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A BRIBE, STATING THAT HE COULD GET ME FREE SPARK PLUGS, DIST.CAP, AND WIRES. I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS. IN ORDER TO END THIS CONVERSATION I ASK FOR THE LAST TIME IF HE WAS GOING TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION HE STATED NO.

Child seat, Jul 29, 2006, crash
OUR HONDA ACCORD 2000 SE WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A PICKUP TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE HOW OUR SON WAS INJURED. OUR SON WAS IN A CENTURY 44164ELM CAR SEAT SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER (MY WIFE). THE METAL BUCKLE THAT IS USED TO ADJUST THE SEAT BELT SIZE (IN THE BACK) SHEARED FROM THE PLASTIC DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT THE UPPER PART OF OUR SON'S BODY BECAME A PROJECTILE AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT KEEP HIM IN THE CAR SEAT. OUR SON'S HEAD LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE SEAT REST IN FRONT HIM. DUE TO THE IMPACT HE SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE, AND FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW. I HAVE THE CAR SEAT SAVED IF CENTURY WANTS TO SEE IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THIS IS UNSAFE. IT IS NOT ON CENTURY'S RECALL LIST IT SEEMS. *JB

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHT WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING DURING THE NIGHT. EVENTUALLY THAT FLICKERING STOPPED AND THE WHOLE INTERIOR LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. I TOOK IT IN TO A CERTIFIED ASE AUTO MECHANIC AND HE SAID THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND TO CHECK MY MAIL AND FILES FOR ANY LETTERS. I FOUND A LETTER IN MY FILES DATING BACK TO JULY 2004 STATING A SAFETY RECALL ON 2000-2001 ACCORD LX V6 MODELS FOR THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT IN THE DASHBOARD HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE INSIDE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FAIRFAX HONDA DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND THEY COULD NOT HONOR MY RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN# DID NOT CALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS LISTED AS A HONDA ACCORD LX 4-CYLINDER. I SPOKE TO A REP. NAMED ANDREA. AFTER CHECKING MY FILES MORE THOROUGHLY, THEY CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS A HONDA ACCORD EX V6. THE RECALL WAS FOR A LX V6, NOT A EX V6. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE EX HAS A DIFFERENT TRIM THEN THE LX, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME, DUE TO HEAT BUILD UP THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY NOT DISPLAY LIGHTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. HONDA CORPORATION SHOULD PROVIDE A WORKAROUND OR TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR DEFECT. *NM

MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO A SAFETY ITEM, THE AIRBAGS OF THE CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (OPEN ROAD HONDA) THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST 105 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEN FROM THERE IT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL COSTS. I READ ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT ALL SAFETY ITEMS SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ONLY SAFETY BELTS ARE UNDER THAT WARRANTY. I'M VERY UNHAPPY. I LOOKED AROUND SOME WEBSITES AND OTHER DEALERS HAVE FIXED IT FOR NO COST. WHY IS MY LOCAL DEALER ASKING ME FOR 105 JUST TO DIAGNOSE A SAFETY PRODUCT ON MY CAR? IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT MY AIRBAGS ON! I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING IT SINCE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I BOUGHT THE CAR WAS BECAUSE IT HAS AIRBAGS. NOW THEY DON'T WORK. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES AND THE SENSOR SYSTEM IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT DETECTS WHETHER A PERSON IS PROPERLY SEATED IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE MY SRS WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. I AM UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED GIVEN ITS EARLY FAILURE RATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL HONDA/ACURA CUSTOMER FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS MANY 2000-2001 ACCORDS/3.2TL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AN UNDETERMINED SPEED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SURGE FORWARD ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

MY "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP' ON MY 6 CYLINDER 2000 HONDA ACCORD CAME ON. THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTICS POINTED TO A PROBLEM WITH CYLINDER #4. HE HAD ME AUTHORIZE A $1000 "TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE" ESTIMATE IN CASE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA CORP SENT THEIR ADJUSTER TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER HAD THE PARTS SENT TO A MACHINIST TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A DAMAGED PART IN THE CYLINDER THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A $2300 APPROXIMATE REPAIR BILL TO PAY ON MY OWN IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND. NOT THAT LONG AGO, I SPENT $300 AT THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING A CARBON BUILD UP PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSING MY ACCELERATOR TO STICK. *NM
