Risk and remedy
Risk
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.
Remedy
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.

I bought this car from a private seller and he claimed the vehicle was in good condition. A day later the car has been dying on me while driving. Nothing shows on the check engine that something is wrong with it. The car will start and able to drive but then will die on me again. How do I find if it's covered under a recall?

Engine shuts off while driving. Speeds can be low or high. 20-65 mph. While driving, engine will cut off. Sometimes the electrics remain on and I can use power steering to pull to the side of the road, other times everything shuts down. It can happen while turning or regular straight driving.…
Engine shuts off while driving. Speeds can be low or high. 20-65 mph. While driving, engine will cut off. Sometimes the electrics remain on and I can use power steering to pull to the side of the road, other times everything shuts down. It can happen while turning or regular straight driving. Sometimes it will restart right after, other times, it won't start for many minutes. We have gotten stuck in turn lanes, middle of intersections, and busy 3 lane city roads. Mechanic says it is not showing any codes and can't find anything wrong with the car.

The SRS light has come on in our 2001 Honda CR-V. Diagnostics at the dealership revealed that the control module is defective, and Honda does not cover its replacement. This is a safety issue, as the airbags will not deploy with the SRS light on. Honda should be responsible for this. Please issue a recall. It appears this issue has been occurring for several years.

I looked up my vin I'D to see it had a air bag recall. I then call my local honda dealer to see when I could take vehicle in for the recall. They stated bring it ant time. I also received a 'safety recall notice' from honda. On 10/27/2020 I took the vehicle to have the air bag replaced. As it turn out on the paper work when contacted to pick up the vehicle it stated 'air bag inspection complete'. I later called the dealer to find out that it was not replaced but only inspected. This was done by honda spreen. IS inspection only correct or replacement correct. Should the recall have replaced the actual device. Does this recall cover both driver and passenger side air bag on this vehicle?

I received a recall notice in the mail from honda in february of 2020. The recall notice states that my 2001 honda CRV IS unsafe to drive. I have been in contact with honda since march 9, 2020 and they have not offered a solution, updates, or information concerning this. I have been told by two employees that the part to fix this issue IS not available and IS no longer manufactured at this time. One employee went so far as to tell me that it IS not an issue and my vehicle IS not unsafe. This IS untrue. The recall notice states, "due to a manufacturing issue, the inflator inside the driver frontal airbag module may absorb moisture, which may cause the driver frontal airbag to malfunction in a crash where the airbag deploys. The airbag could under-inflate during deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the driver. The airbag inflator could also rupture during deployment, with metal fragments possibly striking the driver or passengers, increasing the risk of serious injury or death." they also refuse to give a deadline for this issue to be resolved by. I am writing this complaint as of august 8,2020 whilst sitting here with honda on the phone.

- 10165333This SKU is a Front Upper Ball Joint. The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory to inspect for the outer diameter of the ball joint housing being too small. The outer diameter being too small would prevent the part from being installed, and would therefore have no impact on the end user besides time to complete installation.
