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

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 owners may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is O41. Acura owners may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Acura's number for this recall is U40.

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.

TAKADA INFLATORS. MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD 2 RECALLS ON THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR OR AIRBAG. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I EXPLAINED THAT THE LIGHT USED TO COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN IT WAS VERY HUMID OR HAD RAINED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF THAT, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA AND ASK IF THEY COULD REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS OR INFLATORS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN A PART OF THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR/BAG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITH THE SRS LIGHT STILL ON. RECENTLY I HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. ONCE AGAIN I REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT HONDA TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE SRS LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T DO SO AS IT ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE INJURIES AND DEATHS RELATED TO THE SRS/INFLATORS, WHY WOULDN'T THEY INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS? I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO SO MYSELF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HE'D NOTE IN THE HISTORY THAT I "REFUSED TO FIX IT". I WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE, IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THE WAY THE DEALER IMPLIED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOTE THE HISTORY. SO, I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL NUMBER BACK AND ASKED THEM TO NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF MY CAR THAT I INFORMED HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS LIGHT AND THEY CHOSE TO NOT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. I'M WRITING THIS TO PUT HONDA ON NOTICE THAT I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM OF THE SRS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED THAT THEY FIX IT UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD "NO" TWICE! A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET MAKES IT OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE IT.
