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.

AFTER WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BACK END OF MY CAR DROPPING OUT, I BEGAN TO PULL OFF THE I-5 FREEWAY (IN CENTRAL CA). WHEN I WAS PARTLY ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER I LOST CONTROL AND SPUN ACROSS BOTH SOUTH BOUND LANES, STOPPING IN THE MEDIAN. IT WAS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR AND THAT NO CARS HIT ME. I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE SRUVIVED SUCH AN ACCIDENT. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY HEARD A LOUD NOISE. CONSUMER THOUGHT SHE RAN OVER PIECES OF TIRE ON THE FREEWAY, BUT LATER LEARNED THAT ONE OF HER VEHICLE'S TIRES EXPLODED, AND THE TREAD WAS FROM THAT TIRE. CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. BUT SHE WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AT A REST AREA, WHICH ALLOWED HER TO PULL OVER. ALSO, A PASSING MOTORIST PULLED OVER TO HELP HER, AND CALLED FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL. THEY CHANGED THE TIRE, AND CONSUMER WAS ON HER WAY. *AK

I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH VEHICLE: 1) ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH INTERRUPTS POWER STEERING. THIS OCCURS GENERALLY WITHIN THE FIRST MILE OF DRIVING, NOW DAILY. INITIALLY, PROBLEM OCCURRED AT RANDOM, ONCE OR TWICE PER MONTH. REGULAR SERVICE CHECKS REVEALED NO PROBLEM. THE CAR RUNS WITHOUT PROBLEMS ALL DAY ONCE THE INITIAL STALLING OF THE ENGINE HAS OCCURRED. CONSUMER INFORMATION HAS FOUND THIS TO BE AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BUT HONDA-AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RECALL OR PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL ON 1/17/2004. INSTEAD, HONDA CLAIMS THAT A SCHEDULED "VALVE ADJUSTMENT" WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ENGINE STALLING AND INTERRUPTION OF POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING, AND THE OCCURRENCE IS NOT PREDICTABLE - HOW CAN I BE SATISFIED WITH A "VALVE ADJUSTMENT" AND TAKE THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD? 2) ADVANCED TIRE WEAR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 AND I HAD TO REPLACE TIRES. FIRESTONE / BRIDGESTONE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE WEAR IS PREMATURE AND SOLD ME A NEW SET OF TIRES FOR A FAIR PRICE. HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALER MENTIONED THAT IT IS DRIVER/OWNER RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE TIRE PRESSURE AND ROTATE TIRES ACCORDING TO SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I HAVE ROTATED AND KEEP CORRECT PRESSURE IN TIRES AT ALL TIMES. 3) WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN (MORE NOTICEABLE WHILE MAKING A U-TURN) PRIMARILY FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, A LOUD HOWLING NOISE CAN BE HEARD. THE SAME FIRESTONE / BRIDGESTONE DEALER NOTICED THE SAME SOUNDS AND REFERRED ME TO THE HONDA DEALER. HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALER MENTIONED THAT A LUBE SERVICE IS NECESSARY TO TAKE THAT HOWLING NOISE AWAY FROM MY VEHICLE. FIRESTONE / BRIDGESTONE BELIEVE MORE THAN A LUBE JOB IS NEEDED. 4) REAR GLASS TRUNK LID LEAKS DURING CAR WASHES AND STRONG WINDY RAIN. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES PER HOUR ON 9/7/00 2:25PM (APPROX). BLOW OUT OCCURRED, TOOK CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE TRAVELING A BUSY FREEWAY. I MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT HITTING ANY OTHER CAR. I GOT OFF THE CAR, NOTICED THAT THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE RIM, TIRE WAS HALF A MILE (APPROX) AWAY. CALLED ROADSIDE ASSITANCE, TIRE WAS CHANGED. PHOTOS WERE TAKEN OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND REMAINING PORTION OF THE TIRE ON THE RIM. I WAS TOLD (BY A FIRESTONE MANAGER) TO RETRIEVE THE TIRE ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH I HAVE IN MY POSSESION, TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT SINCE I WORK. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CRV TODAY, I DROVE MY OTHER CAR. I HAD MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON MY CAR ON 9/5/00 AND NO TIRE PROBLEMS WERE REPORTED. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENCES OF THIS TYPE OF BLOWOUT TO THIS TIRE. WHAT CAN BE AND/OR WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN THIS CASE? I AM EXPERIENCING SORENESS /ACHES IN MY NECK AND BACK. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.( DOT NUMBER: )
