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.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I GOT THE CAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED REGULARLY BUT I HAD TO GET THE ROTORS REPLACED TOO IN 2006. THEN, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED ROUND ABOUT THE SAME TIME. RECENTLY (A MONTH AGO), I GOT THE PRIMARY OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED. NOW, THE LATEST MAJOR PROBLEM IS INTERNAL TRANS FAILURE AND FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSED BY HONDA, A DIAGNOSIS THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR. THIS IS UNHEARD OF IN A CAR WITH 55K MILEAGE. HONDA SOLD THE CARS WITH DEFECTIVE TRAN SYSTEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF WHICH THEY EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY. NOW, I AM OUT OF THE WARRANTY BY JUST 3 MONTHS. THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO PAY AROUND $700 TO REPAIR IT. HONDA SHOULD COVER 100% OF THE REPAIR COST. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I WILL HAVE TO AGAIN REPLACE THE NEW TRAN SYSTEM AS SOON AS ITS WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE CAR IS DRIVING FUNNY AND USING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GAS. WHEN I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE AND TOLD THEM THAT THE FUEL ECONOMY PROBLEM (DUE TO TRAN FAILURE) HAD STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO (WHEN I WAS WELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD), THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP BEFORE. SINCE THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OTHER PLACE, HOW WILL A DRIVER KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE CAR? THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ENGINE SOUNDS BUT IT IS HARD TO DISCERN IT OVER THE INHERENT LOUD DIN OF THE HONDA ENGINE. EVEN THE HONDA TECHNICIAN COULD NOT SAY FOR SURE WHETHER THE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WAS DUE TO THE TRAN. FAILURE. A PROPER REPAIR SHOP WOULD HAVE TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT THE PROB. WAS AND TRY TO REPAIR IT, BUT HONDA REPLACES THE FULL TRAN SYSTEM. HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXTREMELY UNPLEASANT - THEY ARE RUDE AND ABRUPT IN THEIR CONVERSATIONS. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME LIMITED CHOICES - 1. I HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT A HONDA REPAIR SHOP. 2. I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE OF GETTING IT FIXED FROM A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP. 3. THEY HAVE GIVEN ME 3 DAYS TO REPAIR IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND DAMAGED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO CAUSE THE DEPLOYMENT. THE CONTACT WAS UNINJURED, BUT VERY SHAKEN UP. THE DEALER ADVISED HER TO CALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND WARNED HER OF THE $500 DEDUCTIBLE SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED A CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVEMENT. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED HER TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,424.

MY SON HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID DEPLOY, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NOT A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE SEAT BELTS LOCKED UP. THE ACCIDENT WAS ON 12-2-06 AND I HAVE TRIED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO FIND OUT WHY THE DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME AN EXPLAINATION AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THE SEATBELTS UNTIL I REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD.
