Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Ridgeline, Element, and Acura RL vehicles due to a defect in the passenger frontal air bag inflator. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation caused by long-term exposure to humidity, temperature, and temperature cycling, potentially sending sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants and causing serious injury or death. The scope of the recall varies by model year and vehicle type, with certain model years recalled nationwide while others are recalled only in specific states, primarily in the upper Midwest, Northeast, and Mountain regions.
To address this hazard, Honda dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator free of charge. The recall began on November 6, 2018. Affected owners should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 to arrange the replacement, referencing Honda's recall numbers H2H or S2I.
