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

IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP BEHIND A CAR AT A STOPLIGHT, THE 2002 ACCORD LURCHED FORWARD, NEARLY REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER FULL STOP WAS COMPLETE, THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN THE CAR ENGAGES IN GEAR AGAIN AND LURCHES FORWARD. ALL OTHER GEAR CHANGES FUNCTION NORMALLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, AND DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL A P0780 (SHIFT MALFUNCTION) CODE.

EVER SINCE I GOT MY CAR THE TRANSMISSION HAS SKIPPED ONCE I STARTED TO ACCELERATE. IT PICKS UP SPEED VERY SLOWLY AND ONCE I GET TO ABOUT 20 MPH IT STARTS SKIPPING REALLY BAD AND I HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SKIPS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND ONCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT SKIPPED FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. I WAS SO SCARED I HAD TO GET OFF AND TAKE THE STREETS. I WENT TO SEE IF MY TRANSMISSION FOR MY MODEL WAS RECALLED (HONDA ACCORD 2002) AND I ONLY SEEN THE 2003 MODEL RECALLED BUT MANY 2002 OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT OCCURRING ONLINE AS WELL. I FEEL THAT HONDA OWES IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO TEST THIS OUT AND CONDUCT A RECALL.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS BADLY CORRODED, DUE TO THE A/C DRAIN HOSE DRIPPING ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOOKS FINE THOUGH. I NOTICED THE ISSUE, AFTER READING ABOUT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND CHECKED OUT OF CURIOSITY. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $2000-$2500 TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME (ABOUT A $1,000 FOR THE SUBFRAME AND ANOTHER $1,000-$1,500 FOR LABOR) AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A SAFEY ISSUE. IF THE SUBFRAME WERE TO FRACTURE, THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE COMPROMISED AND STEERING WILL CEASE.

THERE IS NO LATCH TO KEEP THE TRUNK MORE SECURED. THE TRUNK WILL FALL FROM THE WIND BLOWING OR FOR NO REASON.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE 14 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, DESPITE BEING CAREFUL, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INJURIES FROM THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I NEED TO USE BOTH HANDS TO INSERT/REMOVE ITEMS FROM THE TRUNK. MY HUSBAND AND MOTHER HAVE ALSO HAD INJURIES. THIS IS A VP (VALUE PACKAGE) MODEL OF THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD.
