TAKATA RECALL AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (HONDA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2011 HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO THE EQUIPMENT DEFECT NOTIFICATIONS (16E-042 AND 16E-043) FILED BY TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED. OVERLY AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION CREATES EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE INFLATOR IS ACTIVATED, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR BODY TO RUPTURE. HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH, BUT I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ASKING ME TO LOOK TO SEE IF THIS CAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL.

(IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR BACK, I HAD TO SIGN A STATEMENT ON THE WORK ORDER SAYING I HAD REFUSED A REPAIR, BUT I WAS NOT OFFERED A REPAIR TO REFUSE.
