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.

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 HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO HONDA FOR OVER 3 YEARS ABOUT THE SRS MODULE SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO ABOUT 2 TO 3 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE A SENSOR AND SOME OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THIS SYSTEM FOR $600 BUT THEY DO NOT GUARANTEED THOSE FIXING WILL SOLVE THE SRS PROBLEM PLUS THEY ALSO ARE NOT SURE IF IN A CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY OR WORK RIGHT. WHY PAID FOR THIS REPAIR WENT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEED IT WILL WORK. HONDA IS VERY MISSLEADING. THEY SHOULD BE ORDER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SRS SYSTEM. WHAT COULD BE MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE THAN THIS PROBLEM. ARE THEY WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO GET HURT DUE TO NOT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS DUE TO SRS SYSTEM ISSUES. OTHER CAR COMPANIES ARE ORDER TO DO RECALLS ON BRAKES FAILURE, SEAT BELTS, HONDA IS NOT BEING AN HONEST CUSTOMER ORIENTED COMPANY. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH HE SUFFERED A VISION LOSS. THOUGH IT IS TEMPORARY AND REVERSIBLE, IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED OUR LIVES. PER DOCTORS' REPORT, THIS VISION LOSS WAS DIRECT IMPACT OF VIOLENT ROCKING OF HIS HEAD. AFTER ENSURING MY HUSBAND WAS IN A STABILIZED CONDITION AFTER THIS LIFE THREATENING EVENT, I STARTED PUTTING PIECES TOGETHER TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE PHOTOS OF THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT (POSTED HERE: HTTP://SDRV.MS/1GSAADG), I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED, WHILE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY! WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED HE WAS WEARING THE SIT BELT (TIED TO THE SEAT BY SEAT BELT, HE WAS TIED ON THE STOMACH AND TO THE CHEST). THAT SEAT BELT MAY HAVE BEEN CRUCIAL IN SAVING HIS LIFE. HOWEVER, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED VIOLENT ROCKING OF HIS HEAD RESULTING INTO SEVER SIMULTANEOUS HEMORRHAGE OF BOTH EYES AND ULTIMATELY LEADING UP TO TOTAL LOSS OF HIS VISION. I AM CONFIDENT THAT HAD THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS EXPECTED, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A MUCH BETTER CONDITION. I TRUSTED HONDA VEHICLES AND PREFERRED THOSE FOR MY YOUNG KIDS. WE SELECTED HONDA FOR ITS COMMITMENT TO SAFETY, RELIABILITY AND QUALITY. HOWEVER, THIS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MALFUNCTION IS LEAVING TROUBLING THOUGHTS WITH ME, MY HUSBAND, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY OTHER PERSON RELIVING SUCH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY TO LOOK INTO THIS ASPECT AND CHECK OUR CAR TO FIND OUT ANY DEFECTS OF MALFUNCTION IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

ALSO, WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A CAODE OF C0277 BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DEFECTIVE. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, AFTER THE REPAIR, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, WHICH THEN RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED SUDDENLY AND HE STATED HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND HE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, TO SEE WHY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STAYING ON. THE REPIAR SHOP FOUND A BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND RECALIBRATED THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. THEY ALSO FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT WITHIN THE CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED IT. AFTER HE LEFT THE REPAIR SHOP, ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND A A BAD CONNECTION FROM THE EBCM TO THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT. I HAD A AIR BAG RE-CALL. I TOOK INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR. IM PHYSICALLY DISABLED AND IN A LOT OF PHYSICAL PAIN. IT TOOK THEM A LONG TIME JUST TO TAKE ME OVER TO SHOP AND WAIT AND THEN TAKE ME TO HOUSE AND THEN I HAD TO GET PICKED UP AND WAIT ON CAR AGAIN ETC. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS OFF BUT AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I CANT PHYSICALLY GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. I WILL CONTACT THE ADA BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS AS THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND I SHOULDN'T SUFFER FOR THEIR MISTAKE. ITS THE SAME LIGHT AND IN THE SAME SPOT. THANK YOU *TR

I JUST WONDER HOW LONG DO I GET A RECALL FOR AIRBAG. I HAVE HONDA ACCORD 2001 FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. LAST TIME I RECEIVED A RECALL WAS LAST YEAR; SOMETIME IN SUMMER. RECENTLY, SRS LIGHT CAME ON, SO I WONDER HOW OFTEN AM I SUPPOSE TO RECEIVE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR SOME TIMES. CAR TAKEN TO DEALER ON EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REFUSED MAINTENANCE DUE TO AGE OF CAR.. MANY HONDA'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND NEED A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. SECOND PROBLEM IS DRIVER SEAT BELT. AIR BAGS REPLACED ON RECALL AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAYS PROBLEM NOT IN AIR BAGS BUT DRIVER SEAT BELT MODULE IN SEAT BUCKLE. SEAT BELT WARRANTY FOR LIFE OF VEHICLE BUT HONDA SAYS THE BUCKLE WHERE SWITCH IS NOT COVERED. YOU CAN NOT REPLACE SWITCH BUT MUST BUY THE COMPLETE SEAT BELT STRAP AND BUCKLE. TO ME THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE-STRAP IS PART OF THE SEAT BELT. HONDA WARRANTY SAYS A SEAT BELT THAT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IS COVERED FOR THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS WITH THIS FAILURE HONDA MANUAL SAYS AIR BAGS WILL NOT FIRE WHEN SRS LIGHT ON.

SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ALREADY ON FILE, THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS CHECKED BY A HONDA DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR FACILITY. BOTH CONCLUDED THAT EITHER FAULTY WIRING AND ELECTRONICS WERE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM OR THAT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS IS DEFECTIVE. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $700. SINCE THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT , THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED SINCE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ALMOST IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ALREADY ON FILE, HONDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO. *TR

THE SRS AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND CONTROLS THE DEPLOYMENTS OF AIRBAGS. AFTER RESEARCHING COMPLAINTS ON MY VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR, 85% ARE RELATED TO THIS AIRBAG LIGHT. EVEN AFTER MANDATED RECALL, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. HOW CAN THIS BE IGNORED? AIRBAGS ARE A MANDATORY SAFETY DEVICE INSTALLED TO SAVE LIVES. EVIDENTLY THE RECALL REPAIRS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ISSUE A MANDATE TO FIX PROBLEM SO THAT THE STAYS OFF AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY!!! ALSO, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT DOES NOT WORK, I CAN'T SEE THE INSTRUMENTS AT ALL AT NIGHT. THIS WAS A RECALL FOR THE 01 LX MODEL ACCORDS BUT NOT THE 01 EX MODELS. BASED ON THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE, ALL 01 ACCORDS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. HOW CAN THIS BE IGNORED. I READ THROUGH ALL THE 2001 ACCORD COMPLAINTS AND IT SOUNDS TO ME THERE WILL BE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY NON DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT MY AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS TOO LATE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT ISSUE WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA SINCE MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY SAY THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TAKE IT TO A DARK ROOM TURN THE CAR ON AND GUESS WHAT, YOU WILL REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, I AM NO LONGER A LOYAL CUSTOMER. I WILLL LOOK TO BUY A HYUNDAI, THEY WANT THE BUSINESS! *TR
