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.

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.

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD TO BE USED BY OUR 21-YEAR OLD SON WHO IS ATTENDING COLLEGE AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. ON SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 2001 HE ALONG WITH 3 OTHER COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. THEY WERE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE AT AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR., ANOTHER CAR GOING THE SAME DIRECTION LOST CONTROL (REASON UNKNOWN), SPUN OUT ACROSS THE FREEWAY, HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER AND STOPPED DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF OUR SON. NATURALLY HE HIT HIS BRAKES, BUT IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT HIT THE OTHER CAR HEAD-ON AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. ALL FOUR OF THE PARTIES IN OUR CAR WERE WEARING THEIR SEAT BELTS, WHICH PROBABLY SAVED THEIR LIVES. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT SOMEONE WASN'T SEVERLY INJURED. WHILE ALL OF THE PARTIES HAD SOME WHIP LASH, NO ONE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. SOMEONE TOLD MY SON THAT BECAUSE HE HIT HIS BRAKES THE FRONT END OF OUR HONDA WAS LOWERED AND WENT UNDERNEATH THE BUMPER OF THE CAR THEY HIT, WHICH WAS A LARGER SUV AND THATS WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT TO PROVIDE THE PROTECTION THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE. THE POLICE REPORT INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE SUV WHO SPUN OUT WAS AT FAULT. WHILE WE ARE REALLY GLAD THAT OUR SON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE NOT SEVERLY INJURED I HAVE CONCERN FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL. I DID CONTACT HONDA MOTOR CARS TO FILE A COMPLAINT. ABOUT ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY INFORMATION, SEND ME INFORMATION ON AIRBAGS AND TELL ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. SHOULD YOU LIKE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE US A CALL. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *AK
