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.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS THAT MALFUNCTION. THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE DOOR IS NOT FLUSH WITH THE SIDE (REAR) PANEL. THERE IS ABOUT A 3/8 INCH GAP BETWEEN THE REAR PANEL AND THE BACK OF THE DOOR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR MIGHT NOT PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SECURE. WILL THE DOOR FLY OFF DURING AN IMPACT? I HAVE HAD TO TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE DOORS SO THAT IT OPERATES MANUALLY. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE - MY WIFE AND FOURS KIDS, INCLUDING MY 15 YEAR OLD SON CANNOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EXITING THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. THE KIDS MAY BE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE TRAPPED. IT ALSO WOULD BECOME A PROBLEM IF WE HAD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DO SO. *TR

Equipment, Mar 11, 2007
MARCH 2007. WAS INFORMED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN IRVINE, CA THAT THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WITH MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY NOT PROVIDING COLD AIR WAS IN FACT A DAMAGED A/C CONDENSER. THE SERVICE TECH. SHOWED ME THE AREA IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER HAD OCCURRED. THE SERVICE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE RESULT WAS MOST LIKELY FROM A ROCK OR SIMILAR OBJECT STRIKING THE CONDENSER. AFTER FURTHER REVIEWING THE DAMAGED CONDENSER, I REALIZED THAT THE CONDENSER IS MOUNTED IN SUCH A FASHION IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS NOT HAVING THE PROTECTION FROM ROAD DEBRIS THAT IT POSSIBLY SHOULD. THERE IS ONLY A SMALL GRILL THAT COVERS THE FRONT OF THE A/C CONDENSER. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT A DESIGN PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE ODYSSEY, IN THE FACT THAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY SITUATION THAT OTHERS CURRENTLY OR PREVIOUSLY HAVE HAD WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY. *JB

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SLIDING DOOR NOT CLOSING. IT REQUIRES US TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT. THE BUZZER SOUNDS INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING US TO MANUALLY TURN OFF POWER TO THE DOOR HENCE TRAPPING OUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT. MY MECHANIC INDICATES THAT THERE ARE NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS AN INCESSANT PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *NM
Latches/locks/linkages, Oct 17, 2006
ELECTRONIC DOORS DO NOT SHUT COMPLETELY. WE BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE DOORS TO NOT LOCK COMPLETELY. THE BUZZER HAS TO BE DISABLED FOR OUR SANITY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT A PERMANENT FIX CANNOT BE MADE. THESE DOORS HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE THE VAN WAS FIRST RELEASED, AND THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM AFRAID THE PARTIALLY CLOSED DOOR MAY OPEN AT HIGH SPEED, CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY TO MY CHILDREN, OR CAUSING THE DISTRACTED DRIVER TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS DEFECT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. *NM

MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S FINGER GOT CAUGHT IN THE SLIDING DOOR OF OUR 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI VAN. THE DOOR MECHANISM FAILED TO DETECT HER FINGER IN ITS PATH AND PROCEEDED TO CLOSE RESULTING IN CONTUSION AND ABRASION. SHE WAS TREATED AT AN EMERGENCY CARE FACILITY WHERE THEY RULED OUT ANY BROKEN BONES (THANKFULLY). EXTREME HUMAN FORCE WAS NEEDED TO PRY THE DOOR OPEN SO THAT SHE COULD REMOVE HER INJURED FINGER FROM THE CLOSED DOOR. THIS DOOR HAS BEEN CHECKED IN THE PAST ON 2 OCCASIONS BY 2 SEPARATE HONDA DEALERSHIPS. BOTH DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT THE OUTCOME WAS NOT MORE SERIOUS AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN. I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN GETTING THE WORD OUT TO OTHER OWNERS AND FIND OUT WHAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS TO SAY ABOUT THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. *NM
Latches/locks/linkages, Oct 11, 2006
THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY VAN COME OPEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CLOSED.

HE SAID THAT I COULD HAVE IT REPAIRED MYSELF BECAUSE THIS WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN NOT A RECALL ANYWAY,THAT THEIR PARTS DON'T LAST FOREVER. THE LADY AT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMIN. AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE SAID THAT IT WAS A RECALL AND TO CONTACT THIS WEB SITE. *JB
