What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Honda CR-V vehicles that have previously had their passenger frontal air bag replaced. The recall addresses a defect where the air bag inflator repair kit may have been assembled by the supplier with an incorrect wire harness.

If an inflator with an incorrect wire harness is installed, the air bag may not deploy as intended during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to the passenger. This recall specifically affects vehicles that have already undergone a repair for the passenger frontal air bag.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle and, if necessary, replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2017. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
