Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Honda and Acura vehicles equipped with front passenger side air bag inflators that may rupture during a crash. The rupture hazard is caused by propellant degradation that occurs after long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes. If the air bags deploy in a crash, a ruptured inflator may cause metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. The recall affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in specific regions, with different model years affected depending on the geographic zone.
Honda will replace the front passenger side air bag inflator at no cost to owners. The company has already mailed an initial notification and will send a second notification once replacement parts become available. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 to determine if their vehicle is included in this recall and to schedule a replacement appointment.
