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.

Seat belts, Oct 4, 2019
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.

FOR THE STEERING, THE POWER STEERING PUMP DOESN'T HOLD POWER STEERING FLUID AND WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CURVE AND THERE IS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, YOUR STEERING WHEEL JERKS THE OTHER WAY. IT'S WAY WORSE WITH NO POWER STEERING BUT IT IS STILL THERE EVEN IF YOU HAVE FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR SO ROUGHLY IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT, SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T GO BECAUSE OF IT AND IT'S ALMOST CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS. YOU CAN'T GET UP TO THE SPEED YOU NEED TO WITH IT BEING SO ROUGH AND JUMPY. THEN THERE IS A TICKING NOISE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDLE, FROM THE TIMING BELT AND TRANSISTOR. SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR, LIKE THE SHIFTING AND THE STEERING. THE TICKING HAS BEEN THERE BUT NOT AS BADLY AS IT IS NOW. I ALSO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY HONDA DRIVER WITH THESE ISSUES FROM THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND ERA FOR THIS CAR.
