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 AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST HOWEVER I CALLED HONDA AS THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. AFTER SPEAKING TO 4 REPRESENTATIVES AT HONDA THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER RESPONDED TO A RECALL IN 2006 SERVICE BULLETIN RECALL 06-009 - CODE OPDS WHICH IS FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD REPAIR DONE ACCORDING TO HONDA 3/31/2010 - 10 YEAR WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 89000 ODOMETER ON 10/11/2012. APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED HONDA WITH NO ASSISTANCE AS THEY SAID THERE IS A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THIS RECALL. YESTERDAY I STARTED BY GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM EMILY, BRIANA, NICOLE AND ALEXIS AT HONDA - CASE NO. N012015-05-2002159 AND TO EXPECT A CALL FROM HONDA. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON JAMES (NO ID OR LAST NAME) REGIONAL CASE MANAGER. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE COULD NOT ASSIST ME. 1. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. 2. I AM NOT A LOYAL HONDA OWNER AS I HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA. 3. NO REPAIRS THROUGH HONDA. 4. THE CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. I INFORMED HIM TO CHECK ANOTHER RECALL WHICH SUPERCEDES THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND DATED 3/14/2006. HE INFORMED ME TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT MY EXPENSE AT HONDA AND THE CASE IS CLOSED. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS A FAULT WITH HONDA AND IT IS NOT 10 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND I FEAR DRIVING MY ONLY CAR WITH AN ENORMOUS PROBLEM IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT - SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS AND AN ENORMOUS DANGER TO ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT HIS OR HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE HELP ME. I NEED HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
