DEFECT #5 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
Posted on: 2020-01-21
Description
Honda (american honda motor co.) is recalling certain 1998 acura 2.2cl, 1998-1999 acura 2.3cl, 1998-1999 acura 3.0cl, 2001 acura 3.2cl and acura mdx, 1998-2000 honda accord coupe, accord sedan, civic sedan, odyssey and acura 3.5rl, 1999-2000 acura 3.2tl, 1996-2000 civic coupe, 1997-2000 cr-v, 1997-1998 ev plus, and 1998-1999 isuzu oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with non-azide driver air bag inflators (nadi) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the nadi inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence
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.
Corrective Action
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began october 1, 2020. Owners may contact american honda's customer support & campaign center at 1-888-234-2138 or isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
