Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 17, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

MY 2000 HONDA CRV HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A FAULTY DRIVERS AIR BAG INFLATOR THAN CAN EXPLODE AND SEND SHRAPNEL AT THE DRIVER CAUSING SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER ARE REFUSING TO SUPPLY LOANER CARS WHILE OWNERS WAIT FOR REPAIRS. WE ARE EXPECTED TO DRIVE AROUND IN A CAR THAT HAS A POTENTIAL BOMB SITTING 1 FOOT FROM OUR BODY DUE TO THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLES WHILE THEY SOLVE THEIR LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS - NOT ASK THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER AS SOON AS I WAS ADVISED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM - THEY SHOWED NO REAL CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY - THIS IS JUST WRONG!
