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.

The driver side seatbelt does not seem to consistently stayed clicked/closed. After attaching the seatbelt, it will sometimes come loose. I have started to pull on it hard to assure that the latch has indeed made closure.

I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR SAFTEY SEATS IN THE BACK. THEY ARE SECURED BY OVER THE CHEST SEATBELTS. WHEN STOPPING SHORT, ONE OF THE SEATBELTS DISCONNECTED DIRECTLY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE MATERIAL ON THE BELT ITSELF DID NOT BREAK, JUST THE CONNECTION TO THE ROOF. THE SAFETY SEAT JUMPED FORWARD AND HIT THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE OTHER SEAT BELT ALSO WAS LOOSENED. UPON TAKING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REATTACHED THE BELTS TO THE CAR ROOF. I WONDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN, THEREFORE I WANT IT REPORTED SO THAT IN THE EVENT THERE IS A DEFECT IN ALL THE CARS, HONDA WILL REPAIR IT BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.*AK

LEFT-REAR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY "LOCKS UP." ONCE LATCHED IN PLACE OVER A PASSENGER, THE BELT "LOCKS" SECURELY IN PLACE, FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNFASTEN THE BELT IN ORDER TO LEAN FORWARD ANY DEGREE. PERHAPS A FAULTY PRE-TENSIONER? TWICE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, TWICE NOTHING DONE -- "THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS." MOST RECENTLY CONTACTED DEALER ON AUGUST 8, 2002, ONLY TO LEARN THAT "THE BELT DOES THE SAME THING ON THE 2002 CR-V'S, SO YOURS COULD NOT BE FAULTY." IF MY LR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IS NOT FAULTY, THEN WHY DOES MY RR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HELP!!*AK

WHEN USING SEATBELT AND CLIPPING INTO THE RECEPTICLE LOCK THE SEATBELT DOES NOT ACTUALLY LOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I AM DRIVING AND SEATBELT IS NOT LOCKED IN THE RECEPTICLE. ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT THE SEATBELT WAS SECURE IT WAS NOT BUT IT STAYED IN THE RECEPTICLE BUT DID NOT LOCK. I HAVE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THIS INSPECTED AFTER A PASSENGER NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
