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.

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.

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.

FEW YEARS AGO I HAD PROBLEMS WITH SEAT BELT CODES POPPING UP. TOOK CAR TO ONE OF THE DEALERS (DO NOT REMEMBER WHICH ONE..LOST MY RECEIPT/PAPER WORK) AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. AFTER THAT "FIX" THE REMINDER LIGHT AND ALARM FOR SEAT BELTS DIDN'T LIGHT UP AT ALL (ON A DASH BOARD), ASKED TECHNICIANS ABOUT IT AT THAT TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE LIGHT/ALARM NEEDS TO BE CHANGING AND THAT IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL. IT HAD BEEN FEW YEARS SINCE AND WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR I AM UNEASY ABOUT IT: IT SOMEHOW DISTURBS ME WHENEVER I TURN THE CAR ON OR DRIVE IT. BELT (DRIVER'S SIDE) SOMETIMES DOESN'T GET TIGHT(ER?)EN AT ALL WHEN I BRAKE. I READ THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND USUALLY HONDA MAKER REQUIRES TO FIX IT AND IT IS AT NO CHARGE. THIS YEAR I TALKED TO ONE OF THE BALLISE HONDA (WEST SPRINGFIELD) DEALERSHIPS' TECHNICIAN (INFORMATION/CONVERSATION WAS NOT ENTERED IN THE COMPUTER) AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT A BIG A DEAL (THE LIGHT/ALARM SOUND IS NOT ON WHEN BELTS ARE NOT ENGAGED) AND IF I WANT TO FIX IT I WOLD HAVE TO PAY. I TOLD HIM WHEN THEY WENT OFF : AFTER THE PROBLEM I HAD FEW YEARS THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. SO..I AM CURIOUS IS IT A SAFETY ISSUE COVERED BY HONDA OR IS IT JUST IN MY HEAD SOMETHING THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT AS PER TECHNICIAN. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE DATE WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY (I THINK) JUST TURN THAT SIGNAL/ALARM OFF ...BECAUSE BEFORE I TOOK MY CAR TO THEM ALL WAS ON AND WORKING PROPERLY EXCEPT FOR THE LIGHTS POINTING TO THE ISSUE. SO,NOW I AM PUTTING PRESENT DAY (BELOW WHERE IT REQUIRES TO PUT THE DATE WHEN FIRST IT HAPPENED BECAUSE I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT DATE)... BECAUSE THE FORM WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO PROCEED.

I MOVED FROM ARIZONA TO FLORIDA. I HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT. THREE DAYS AGO I SAW THE SRS (SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON IN MY CAR. BECAUSE THE RECALL IS GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR. IT JUST TURNED ON. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE I HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE. I CAN'T IMAGE WHY THEY WON'T ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAGS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR, IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

THE LIGHT REMAINS ON DURING MOTION AND WHILE THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE. MY VEHICLE IS AT 117,464 MILES.

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. SEAT BELTS WERE REPLACED AND WARNING LIGHT RESET,BUT CAME ON AFTER A COUPLE OF MILES. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG INFLATORS, BUT THE SEAT BELT CONTROL MODULE, WHICH ACTIVATES THE INFLATORS IS DEFECTIVE, AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY UPDATE OR RECALL PROGRAM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY RECALL WITH NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

THE CONSUMER MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NOVEMBER 19, 2011. THE CONSUMER ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND PRESENTED THE ADVISOR WHEN THE RECALL NOTICE. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, THE ADVISOR PRESENTED THE CONSUMER WITH A LIST ITEMS THEY THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AS WELL AS THE AIR BAG ISSUE.

MY 8 YEARS OLD GRANDSON BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE SEAT TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE SEAT BELT LOCKED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. HE MANAGED TO SQUIRM OUT BUT HIS FOOT GOT CAUGHT IN THE BELT. THE BELT TWISTED AND I WAS UNABLE TO LOOSEN IT WORKING ON IT FOR 15 TO 20 MINUTES. THE BELT BECAME TIGHTER EACH TIME I TRIED TO RELEASE IT. HIS FOOT BECAME RED AS THERE WAS NOT ANY CIRCULATION TO HIS RIGHT FOOT. I ENDED UP RETURNING HOME AND CUTTING THE SEAT BELT IN ORDER TO RELEASE HIM. THE SEAT BELT IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE BACK. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE BELT AND FEEL LIKE HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE BELT FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE THE SEAT BELT FREE OF CHARGE. *KB

2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE -- SRS SYSTEM LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON. THIS INDICATES THAT SRS SYSTEM, INCLUDING SAFETY DEVICES (SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS) MAY NOT BE WORKING CORRECTLY. THE PROBLEM WAS AT FIRST INTERMITTENT. I READ THAT THERE WAS RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE SEAT BELTS AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICING. HE DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAFETY RECALL AND SAID THEY WOULD TROUBLESHOOT IT AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THE LIGHT IS SOLID ON FOR PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 5 MPH AND ABRUPTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO ENGAGE AND LOCK THE CONTACT INTO POSITION. THE SRS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEATBELTS AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE IN THE AIR BAGS AND ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY DEPLOY THE AIR BAGS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE FULLY OPERATIONAL. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL, HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL CAMPAIGN (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V041000: AIR BAGS). THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE AIR BAGS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT WAS 90,000. UPDATED 06/25/10. *LJ UPDATED 06/29/10.*JB

MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH FAILURE, AND IT WOULD COST $200+ TO FIX, EVEN THOUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT ALL SEAT BELT PROBLEMS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I REFUSED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND THEY SENT ME AWAY, INFORMING ME THAT THE SRS SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE ON THEIR ACCORDS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME. THANK YOU *TR
