What happened

Honda is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Honda and Acura vehicles that may have defective passenger-side frontal air bag inflators. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes, potentially sending sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants and causing serious injury or death. The specific vehicles and model years affected vary by geographic zone, with certain 2010-2013 models recalled if registered in states including Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and U.S. territories; other 2010-2012 models if registered in states including Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia; and certain 2009 models if registered in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Honda began notifying owners on February 16, 2018, and will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator free of charge at authorized Honda dealers. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 to determine if their vehicle is included in the recall using Honda's recall numbers B0K or L0J.
