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 WAS TOLD TO TALK TO A BODY SHOP IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T "ROAD SAFE". LOOKED INTO THIS A BIT AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ACCORDS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAINPIPE (WHICH EMPTIES RIGHT ONTO THE SUBFRAME) . THE CAR FOR THE MOST PART IS RELIABLE, MINUS THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED AT 130,000 MILES. BUT A FRAME SHOULDN'T BE "RUSTED THROUGH" AFTER 15 YEARS!

I CANNOT MAKE IT ACROSS BUSY STREETS SAFELY DUE TO MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ENGAGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BACK IN 2004. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SOMEONE IN 2014 NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT. ISSUES INCLUDE: TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR WON'T ENGAGE. CAR STUTTERS OR JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND IS DUE FOR IMMEDIATE FAILURE. UPON RESEARCHING THE SUBFRAME FOR THE 6TH GENERATION HONDA ACCORD, MULTIPLE ARTICLES, BLOGS, AND EVEN A NEWS VIDEO REPORT BY WEWS NEWS CHANNEL 5, POINT TO A/C DRAIN HOSE AS THE ISSUE CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUBFRAME IS SIGNIFICANTLY IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION VS THE PASSENGER SIDE.

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.
