Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019.

The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion and other factors, including manufacturing variability that, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238, select option 4. Note: Vehicles that have had their driver frontal air bag replaced previously as part of a recall remedy prior to September 12, 2014 need to have their air bag replaced under this recall as well. Vehicles that, on or after September 12, 2014, received a remedy for a prior driver frontal air bag inflator recall already received an inflator of a different design, and therefore are not included in this recall and do not require additional servicing. Note: This recall fully supersedes recalls 08V-593, 09V-259, 10V-041, 11V-260, 14V-351 and 15V-153. Honda's numbers for this recall are JQ9, JR0, JR1, JR2, JR3, JR4, JR5, JR6, JR7, and JR8.

I HAD MY CAR TAKEN IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. I ALSO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY FIXED MY RECALL COMPLETELY AND BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OTHER RECALLED ISSUES AT HAND. INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHT S DO NOT GIVE PROPER LIGHTING AND VISIBILITY IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. THE SEATBELT ON MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS ALL THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER. THE TCS LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMES ON WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS CHANGE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BUT I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET DEALERSHIP AUTOSHOP WORK PERFORMED. SO IF I DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THESE DEFECTS BEING FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY AND GET HELP.

TAKATA RECALL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT TO MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD WERE EFFECTED ON 2/22/16. ON 5/3/16 I WAS BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND FOLLOWED BY A STINGING PAIN IN MY LEFT ARM. WHEN I TURNED TO LOOK AT MY ARM I NOTICED THE AIRBAG FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR SEAT HAD DEPLOYED AND WAS NOW HANGING DEFLATED NEXT TO ME. THE AIR BAG LEFT A RED WELT, IT DIDN'T BRUISE ME AND THE REDNESS ONLY LASTED A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED MY FATHER AND HE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO ADVISED US TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. A SERVICE MANAGER AT LONG BEACH HONDA LOOKED AT THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG AND SAID THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ASKED HIM TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE DISCOVERED NO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR HE GOT DOWN ON ALL FOURS, LOOKED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR, STOOD UP, AND SAID THERE WERE SMUDGES ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHEN I INFORMED HIM I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING, HE SAID THE BEST HE COULD DO WAS REPAIR THE AIR BAG AND RESET THE SENSORS FOR ABOUT $1,000. WE LEFT AND CONTACTED HONDA AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. A REPRESENTATIVE AT HONDA SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTHORIZE AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. WE DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON 5/16/16 AT 8:30AM AND THEY CONTACTED US AROUND 5:00PM THAT SAME DAY AND SAID THAT THEY HAD COMPLETED THE INSPECTION. THE TECHNICAN SAID HE DISCOVERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE TIRE WELL AT SOME POINT AND BECAUSE SOME SCREWS ON THE STEERING ARM WERE NEWER, REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. WE TOLD HIM IT STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN WHY ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR. HE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS EMPTY. WHEN WE ASKED WHY THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY HE SAID THE SENSORS DECIDE WHICH AIRBAGS TO TRIGGER. WE REALIZED ALL THEY WERE LOOKING FOR WAS A REASON GET OUT OF IT.
