IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
We encourage owners of an affected vehicle to immediately contact a tocal authorized dealership to have their vehicle serviced.
Dear :
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
What is the reason for this notice?
Honda has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2003-2005 model year Accord vehicles that were originally sold in or ever registered in geographic locations known for high absolute humidity: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, U S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. In some vehicles, the passenger’s front airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure upon deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the increased internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture and deploy abnormally. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material possibly causing serious injury or fatality to vehicle occupants.
Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger’s seat until the recall repair has been performed.
What should you do?
Call any authorized Honda dealer to make an appointment to have your vehicle’s front passenger’s airbag inflator replaced, at no cost to you.
While parts are available to conduct airbag inflator replacements at the time of this notice, the scope of the current airbag inflator recalls creates the possibility that the parts necessary to complete the recall repair may not be available at the time you call. If this occurs, please discuss your specific needs and concerns with your dealer, including the provision of, or reimbursement for, temporary alternative transportation, as necessary. You may also contact Honda’s Automobile Customer Service (at the number listed below) to address your needs and concerns.
Once you make an appointment to repair your vehicle, be advised that the complete replacement process may take approximately 42 minutes; however, please ask your dealer for the specific time your vehicle will need to be at the dealership
If you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to visit www.recalls.honda.com or to call Honda Automobile Customer Service at 1-888-234-2138 and select option 2.
