2003 HONDA ACCORD
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2003 Honda Accord Coupe vehicles with four-cylinder engines due to a defect in the passenger frontal air bag inflator module. The Takata inflators used in replacement air bag modules may rupture due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to low humidity, temperature, and temperature cycling. If the inflator ruptures, metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. This issue only affects vehicles where the passenger frontal air bag module has been replaced, such as after a crash.
Honda will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will inspect and replace any Takata inflator in the passenger frontal air bag module at no charge. The recall was expected to begin May 1, 2017. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 to arrange service. Honda's recall number for this issue is KF0.
