Honda and Acura Recall Vehicles Due to Passenger Air Bag Defect

Honda is recalling 19,138 vehicles because the front passenger air bag inflator may be installed incorrectly, potentially preventing proper deployment in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bag) that may fail to deploy, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. No injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, and the defect is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling 19,138 vehicles, including specific model years of the Acura TSX, TSX Sport Wagon, and ZDX, as well as the Honda Accord, Accord Crosstour, Civic, Civic Hybrid, Civic NGV, Crosstour, CR-V, Fit, Insight, and Pilot. The recall involves the front passenger air bag inflator, which may have been installed incorrectly during a previous replacement procedure.

An incorrectly installed air bag inflator may not properly deploy the passenger frontal air bag in the event of a crash. This failure to deploy increases the risk of injury to the front passenger. The recall began on July 5, 2019.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the inflator installation and, if necessary, replace the passenger frontal air bag module assembly free of charge.
