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.

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX SEDAN WITH A LITTLE OVER 75,000 MILES ON IT. SATURDAY MAY 4TH OF THIS YEAR ON MY WAY FROM MESQUITE TO ARLINGTON MY CAR JUST FAILED TO MOVE. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T PICK A GEAR TO MOVE ON, LUCKILY A GENTLEMAN BEHIND ME HELPED PUSH THE CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE 35 AND HAD TO REQUEST AAA COME TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LUTE RILEY IN RICHARDSON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED SAT BY THE TIME I GOT THERE SO MONDAY MORNING WHEN I WENT IN I HAD RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE SIXTH GENERATION ACCORDS. BUT I WAS INFORMED AT MIDDAY BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR SHAWN THAT I NEEDED TO PAY TO HAVE MY SOLENOIDS REPLACED SINCE THATS WHAT THE TECHNICIAN REPORTS AS THE PROBLEM SO ME BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HEAVILY RELIANT ON MY TRANSPORTATION ESPECIALLY DURING FINALS WEEK PAID FOR IT. SURE ENOUGH COUPLE OF DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE WHERE THE CAR DIES AGAIN IN MY SCHOOL PARKING LOT AND I HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN BY AAA OVER TO LUTE RILEY. THIS TIME WHEN I WENT IN ON THURSDAY MAY 6TH THEY SANG A DIFFERENT TUNE THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY HONDA SO THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR FREE BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP IT FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY ORDER ONE. NOW MY ISSUE IS RETURNING THE $350 PLUS THAT I SPENT ON REPAIRING SOLENOIDS THAT WEREN'T IN NEED OF BEING REPLACED. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO HONDA'S CORPORATE HQ LIKE SO MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE ALREADY DONE. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP SAVE OTHER PEOPLE THIS HEADACHE AND POSSIBLE ENDANGERMENT OF LIFE WHEN A VEHICLE FAILS ON OUR HIGHWAYS! ADDITIONALLY I REQUEST THAT YOU INCLUDE HONDA'S RECALL\EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON ALL 2000-2001 ACCORDS, ODDESSEYS, AND PRELUDES IN YOUR "SAFETY RECALL" SEARCH ENGINE (THIS IS OPEN INFORMATION ON HONDA'S HOMEPAGE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE IN AS MANY PLACES POSSIBLE).
