What happened

Honda is recalling certain 2003-2004 Honda Odyssey and 2003 Acura MDX vehicles due to a potential air bag safety issue. A component in the air bag control module may fail because of electrical noise, which could cause the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven. This inadvertent deployment increases the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.

Honda dealers will replace the supplemental restraint system electronic control unit (SRS ECU) to fix the problem. The recall began on February 22, 2016. If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. If your vehicle previously had a noise filter installed as a remedy under an earlier campaign (recall 13V-412), you will need to have the SRS ECU replaced under this new recall.
