An inflator explosion may result in sharp 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 August 12, 2019. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are Q5A and Y58.

The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, these inflators may explode.
An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
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.

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2001-2007 Accord, 2001-2005 Civic, 2001-2004 Honda Civic GX, 2003-2005 Honda Civic Hybrid, 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2008 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline, 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2003-2006 Acura MDX, and 2002-2003 Acura 3.2TL vehicles. 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.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS MISTAKENLY LABELED OUR VEHICLE'S AIRBAG RECALL AS COMPLETED DESPITE OUR CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE INCORRECT INFORMATION. WE HAVE LIVED IN AUSTIN, TX SINCE JUNE 20TH, 2015. YET, THE RECALL SERVICE WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN PLACE ON AUGUST 20TH, 2015 IN LEWISVILLE, TX . THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. LEWISVILLE IS OVER 200 MILES AWAY FROM AUSTIN AND IT WAS RECORDED AS BEING BROUGHT IN BY A WOMAN WHOM I HAVE NEVER MET OR EVEN HEARD OF. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS AND A "CLAIMS CASE" THAT PRODUCED NO RESULTS WHATSOEVER THE RESULT FROM HONDA'S INVESTIGATION IS "WE HAVE IT MARKED AS COMPLETED, SORRY. YOU CAN PAY FOR AN INSPECTION IF YOU WANT." I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND THE FACT THAT HONDA WILL NOT INSPECT MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY IS AN OUTRAGE.

TAKATA RECALL HONDA CALLED ME BACK IN JANUARY TO NOTIFY ME OF THE INFLATOR RECALL ON MY CAR AND TOLD ME I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE I WAS WORKING A LOT AT THE TIME AND WAS CARPOOLING WITH MY BROTHER I TOOK THE OPTION TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT A LATER DATE. I RECENTLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO START DRIVING THE CAR A LOT AGAIN I CALLED HONDA BACK TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT.

I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND SHE CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE IN HOUSTON (WHICH IS ABOUT A 4-HOUR DRIVE FROM WHERE I LIVE) ON JANUARY 29TH. SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO HELP ME AND CONTINUED THAT IT WAS ALREADY DONE. I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES THIS HONDA AND DEFINITELY DID NOT TAKE IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS ,I JUST HAD THE TAKATA RECALLED AIR BAG REPLACED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN MY HONDA FROM TAKATA. TODAY NOVEMBER 6TH I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION GOING AROUND 35MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE NEW REPLACED AIR BAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL NEVER DEPLOYED BUT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN JUST A PASSENGER AIR BAG GO OFF AND NOT THE DRIVERS BAG GO OFF TO. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THIS NEW AIR BAG FROM TAKATA NOT GOING OFF OR AN INSTALLATION ISSUE?. THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED BY SMART HONDA DEALERSHIP IN DES MOINES IOWA SEVERAL WEEK AGO. THE CAR IS AT IMPOUND RIGHT NOW AT THE TOWING COMPANY IT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT...THX

FIRST OF ALL I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IVE HAD MY SRS DASH LIGHT COME ON IN THE PAST AND HONDA REPLACED MY SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND HONDA HAD COVERED THE REPAIR ON THIS . THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN RECENTLY AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE LIGHT ISSUE AND TOLD ME THE SRS UNIT WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE AT LEAST $700 FOR THE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE(AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY) AND I AM SEEING THIS IS QUITE COMMON ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE , MODEL , YEAR . I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IT CAN DEFINITELY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO A FATALITY IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT .

THE DATE LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE 2/14/2001, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT HOME THE AIRBAG LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BAG AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT WAS FIXED. AS THE YEARS PASSED BY THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES. THEY NEVER OFFERED ME ANOTHER CAR OR FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS THE YEARS WENT ON THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL ISSUED. BUT TO THIS DAY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPENSATED A DEFECTIVE CAR BUT I WAS NEVER OFFERED ANOTHER CAR OR A REDUCED PRICE. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOES NOT LIST MY VIN. CAN I BRING MY CAR TO THE HEADQUARTERS LOCATION IN TORRANCE FOR AN INSPECTION/FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR BUYING A NEW CAR THAT DID NOT LIVE UP TO HONDA'S STANDARDS FROM DAY 1 ( FEBRUARY 14, 2001)... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

HONDA CASE # [XXX] ** I HAVE REMOVED THE AIRBAG MODULE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE INTERIM. HONDA OF AMERICA(HOA) IS REFUSING TO COOPERATE WITH ME IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG INFLATOR -- NHTSA RECALL 14V-351. CONTACTED HOA AT 1-888-234-2138 ON MARCH 19TH, 2015. I ASKED IF I COULD TAKE THE AIRBAG MODULE/ASSEMBLY TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED WHILE IT IS OFF THE VEHICLE. I ADVISED HOA I DO NOT WISH TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, ONLY THE AIRBAG MODULE ITSELF. HOA ADVISED "NO". I ASKED FOR FURTHER REVIEW, BY "CASE REVIEW", OF MY REQUEST AND TO BE CONTACTED VIA LETTER BECAUSE I DO NOT WISH TO PROVIDE MY TELEPHONE NUMBER. AS OF MAY 19TH, 2015 I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION/LETTER FROM HOA. CALLED HOA AGAIN ON MAY 19TH, 2015 AND WAS ADVISED THEY WILL NOT SEND A LETTER. THEY WISH TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE. AS OF MAY 19TH, 2015, I ADVISED HOA I WILL NO LONGER BE CONTACTING THEM AND ASKED THE HOA REPRESENTATIVE TO ADVISE THE CASE REVIEWER THAT I WILL SIMPLY NOT HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED AND WILL LEAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE OFF THE STEERING WHEEL/VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAW REGARDING SAFETY RECALLS AND CAN FIND NO LAW THAT STATES I MUST ABIDE BY THE MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES FOR REPLACING SAFETY DEVICES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A MANUFACTURER MUST REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SAFETY DEVICE REGARDLESS AND SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ASSIST THE OWNER IN PERFORMING SAFETY RECALLS. PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA LETTER -- I WILL NOT PROVIDE MY TELEPHONE NUMBER, EMAIL, ETC. AS IT IS NOT REQUIRED BY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL LAW. THE ADDRESS I AM PROVIDING IS THE SAME ADDRESS HOA HAS ON FILE FOR THE VIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
