BACKGROUND

NHTSA and its independent expert reviewed the findings of three independent investigations into the Takata air bag inflator ruptures. According to NHTSA, the combination of time, high temperature fluctuations, and humidity contribute to the degradation of the propellant in the inflators. NHTSA has concluded that this degradation can cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating more pressure than the inflator can withstand and, in extreme cases, causing the inflator to rupture and send shrapnel through the airbag toward vehicle occupants. NHTSA is prioritizing the recall of airbag inflators based on the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.

To comply with NHTSA’s direction, American Honda has combined two previous campaigns related to airbag inflators that may produce excessive pressure after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity. Currently there are five planned phases to this campaign. The subsequent phases will launch at a future date according to NHTSA direction, but it will be several years before the final phase launches. Additionally, AHM may add new affected models or affected years to each phase. Always do an iN VIN status inquiry to see if a vehicle is affected.

For more information about these inflator recalls, go to www.safercar.gov and use keyword TAKATA.

NOTE: If the VIN status inquiry indicates that the vehicle is subject to any open safety recalls, including the driver’s airbag inflator, make sure to also complete those recall repairs before returning the vehicle to the customer. If you are unable to complete any open recall, advise the customer of the recall status and when the recall could be completed.

New and different inflators are available. You will receive a different part number than ordered, and the inflator may physically look different from previous replacement parts. As a result, there will be different installation instructions. Make sure you review this service bulletin for installation instructions and details about model applicability. PARTS INFORMATION and REPAIR PROCEDURE were updated to reflect these new parts.

On June 18, 2015, there was a change in the return process for driver and front passenger inflators. Refer to  PIB A15-0002, Inflator Kit Return Process for more information.

Follow the instructions on the page of the vehicle/model you are working on.

Models Pages
Accord/Accord Crosstour 6 thru 15
Civic/Civic CNG/Civic Hybrid 16 thru 25
CR-V 26 thru 35
