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 VEHICLE HANDLING IS POOR WHEN MAKING SUDDEN TURNS (AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS). WHEN I SPOKE TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL AND EVERYTHING METAL RUSTS IN THIS AREA (SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN). HE GAVE ME A NUMBER FOR SOME HONDA CARE CENTER, BUT AFTER NAVIGATING THROUGH THE AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEM I FOUND OUT THE CENTER WAS NOT OPEN AT THE TIME I CALLED...FRUSTRATING. UPON EXAMINING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT IS APPARENT THE FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE OR SUB FRAME) WHERE THE STABILIZER BAR MOUNTS TO THE FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS TOTALLY RUSTED THROUGH, ALLOWING THE STABILIZER BAR TO MOVE A GREAT AMOUNT ONLY TO BE HELD UP BY THE SWAY BAR LINK PIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE SWAY BAR LINK PIN TERMINATION COMES LOOSE OR BREAKS, THE SWAY BAR WILL DROP AND DRAG ON THE PAVEMENT, POSSIBLY CATAPULTING THE CAR.

SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STATIONARY AT HOME PARKED. I WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT HAS A 7-3 CODE FOR 'INTERNAL FAILURE'. THEY ADVISED ME TO PAY $1056 TO REPLACE COMPUTER. THEY SAID THIS ONLY COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED. THEY TOLD ME MY AIRBAGS MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY. TWO YEARS AGO MY SRS LIGHT HAD CAM ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS FOR SEAT BELTS AND THEY COVERED IT. WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHEN I SEARCHED ON GOOGLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

RIGHT SIDE SUB-FRAME, REAR BEAM, K FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH FROM A/C DRAIN LINE INSTALLED TO DRAIN DIRECTLY ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING TO FLEX SUBSTANTIALLY AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC COULD CAUSE THE CAR STEERING TO FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY OR COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. ANTI-SWAY BAR IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AWAY FROM THE FRAME. FOUND BY MECHANIC CHECKING MY CAR TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE STEERING AND CORNERING.
