Air Bag Inflators May Rupture or Underinflate Bag
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V027
Manufacturer Honda
(American Honda Motor Co.)
Components AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected 875,966
Summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles.
These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda’s Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

NHTSA Recall 20V-027
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dear FIRSTNAME LASTNAME,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS SECOND NOTICE?
In March 2020, a notice was mailed to inform you that Acura has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2000 model year 3.2TL vehicles installed with a driver frontal airbag module service part (replacement due to a crash or other event), and that replacement parts needed to perform the final repair were not available. This notice is being sent to inform you that these parts are now available.
As stated in the initial notice, due to a manufacturing issue, the inflator inside the driver frontal airbag module service part may absorb moisture, which may cause the driver frontal airbag to malfunction in a crash where the airbag deploys. The airbag could under-inflate during deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the driver. The airbag inflator could also rupture during deployment, with metal fragments possibly striking the driver or passengers, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
WHAT WILL ACURA DO?
The dealer will inspect the driver frontal airbag and, if necessary, replace the inflator with an inflator of a different design for free.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Please call any authorized Acura dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle’s driver frontal airbag inflator inspected and, if necessary, replaced with an inflator of a different design for free. Once you make an appointment for your vehicle, be advised that the total replacement process may take approximately 30 minutes. However, your dealer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit, as it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE FOR OPEN RECALLS
You can check your vehicle’s eligibility for repair under this or any other recall. Please access the Acura Recall Lookup tool at www.recalls.acura.com and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

For Immediate Release
Statement by American Honda Regarding NADI Airbag Inflator Recall
- Not related to prior Takata airbag inflator recalls; Different inflator type with a different defect
- Approximately 2.4 million Acura and Honda vehicles to be recalled in the United States
- Free recall inspections and free repairs to begin in approximately one year, as alternative replacement parts are not yet available
TORRANCE, Calif. – Jan. 21, 2020 – American Honda will recall approximately 2.4 million Honda and Acura automobiles from the 1996 through 2003 model years in the United States to inspect and, if needed, replace certain Takata driver front airbag inflators manufactured with non-azide propellant (NADI), for free. Free recall inspections and repairs will begin in approximately one year, as replacement parts from alternative suppliers are not yet available.
In November 2019, Takata submitted a defect information report (DIR) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) related to NADI inflators installed in multiple automakers’ vehicles. NADI inflators pre-date and are different from Takata non-desiccated inflators involved in earlier airbag inflator recalls. Manufactured without appropriate seals, recalled NADI inflators may allow air and moisture to leak into the inflators over an extended period, causing propellant degradation. If a recalled NADI inflator-equipped airbag with degraded propellant deploys during a crash, it may deploy too slowly or, in very rare cases, too forcefully, rupturing and throwing metal pieces of the inflator toward vehicle occupants. Either scenario could contribute to occupant injuries.
Honda is aware of one field rupture of a NADI inflator in a Honda vehicle globally. That rupture occurred during a crash of a 1997 Honda Civic in Texas in 2012. In addition, Honda is aware of two NADI inflator ruptures during vehicle scrapping activity in Japan. Each of these vehicles potentially was exposed to unusually high levels of moisture prior to the rupture events.
Initial mailed notification to owners of recalled vehicles will begin in mid-March 2020 with a second notice planned when replacement parts become available. Owners may also check their vehicles’ recall status now at www.recalls.acura.com and www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
Models included in this recall (certain specific vehicles only): Acura:
1997-1998 2.2CL

Description of the basis for the determination of the recall population:
The recall population was determined based on manufacturing records. The production range reflects all possible vehicles that could potentially experience the problem.
Description of how the vehicles being recalled differ from similar vehicles not included in the recall:
According to the equipment defect notification 19E-080 filed by Takata, the suspect range of Non-Azide Driver Frontal Airbag lnflators (NADI) were produced up to August 31, 1999. Out of an abundance of caution, Honda is recalling all vehicles built from production start-up through December 31, 1999 in a separate recall.
This recall is specific to all vehicles built starting on January 1, 2000 until the end of OEM application of the NADI inflator and could potentially have received a suspect driver frontal airbag module replacement service part containing a NADI inflator produced up to August 31, 1999.

Percentage of affected vehicles that contain the defect: 4%
573.6(c)(5)
Defect description:
According to the equipment defect notification 19E-080 filed by Takata, certain Takata Non Azide Driver Airbag lnflators have the potential to exhibit elevated moisture ingress due to insufficient aluminum tape seal. This can lead to slow deployment, which may result in insufficient protection by the driver frontal airbag, or there may be over-aggressive combustion creating excessive internal pressure when the driver frontal airbag is deployed. Very high internal pressure could result in the body of the airbag inflator rupturing upon deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.
573.6(c)(6)
Chronology:
July 29, 2015
Honda was informed of a NADI inflator rupture event occurring at an auto dismantling facility in Japan on July 22, 2015. A rupture incident report confirming the rupture was submitted to NHTSA per Standing General Order 2015-01.
May 11, 2016
Honda was informed of a potential NADI inflator rupture field event with a reported injury occurring in Houston, TX on November 21, 2012. An initial rupture incident report was submitted to NHTSA per Standing General Order 2015-01A and an investigation into the rupture claim was launched.
July 29, 2016
The investigation of the Texas field event revealed that the vehicle owner initially contacted Honda on June 10, 2013. At that time, a claim was opened but it was subsequently closed on July 22, 2013 because the police report did not mention an airbag “rupture,” the vehicle had already been scrapped, and the suspect airbag components were not available for inspection. However, based on photographic evidence, Honda confirmed that the airbag inflator ruptured and submitted a final rupture incident report to NHTSA per Standing General Order 2015-01A.
September 5, 2018
Honda was informed of a NADI inflator rupture event that occurred at an auto dismantling facility in Japan on August 10, 2018. A final rupture incident report was submitted to NHTSA per Standing General Order 2015-01A.
October 31, 2019
Takata informed Honda of two NADI inflator rupture field events in Australia which involved a different vehicle manufacturer and provided relevant information.
November 26, 2019
Takata submitted equipment defect notification 19E-080 to NHTSA listing Honda as an affected OEM.
December 18, 2019
NHTSA issued Equipment Query EQ19-002 requesting information from Honda.
January 3, 2020
Honda responded to EQ19-002 with an estimated population of Acura and Honda vehicles equipped with a Takata NADI inflator.
January 16, 2020
Honda determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety existed and decided to conduct a safety recall.
As of January 16, 2020, Honda has received one injury claim related to this issue.

RE: Stop Sale/Safety Recall: 1997-2003 Multi-Model Driver’s Frontal Airbag Inflator
On Friday, January 17, 2020, Acura notified NHTSA of a Stop Sale and Safety Recall for certain model year 1997-2003 Acura
vehicles due to improperly manufactured Takata non-azide driver’s frontal airbag inflators (NADI) that may malfunction
and, in rare cases rupture upon deployment.
At this time, parts to repair affected vehicles are not available. Acura is working to expedite the supply of replacement
parts. Until parts are available, Acura is providing the verbiage below to facilitate service of these affected vehicles since
inflator recall repairs are not possible at this time. Should a vehicle affected by service bulletin 20-005, Safety Recall:
Driver’s Frontal Airbag Inflator arrive for service, the client must be advised that their vehicle is subject to a recall. In
addition, the following suggested text should be included on the repair order. This information should be printed out
completely any time service is conducted on a vehicle that has not been remedied under this recall and parts are not
available. Once replacement parts are available, the normal procedures under SOM 7.2.1 will apply.
Suggested Verbiage to be included on Repair Order:
“Client advised that:
The vehicle is subject to a safety recall affecting the driver’s frontal airbag inflator. Redesigned airbag inflators
are not available for installation at this time. Once redesigned parts are available, the registered owner of the

NEW Takata airbag inflator recall.
Click here to watch the video or refer to the post titled, “NEW Takata Airbag Recall Update 1/22/2020” on the
Parts, Service, Sales, or Executive Management landing pages on iN.
Below is the script for your reference:
Hi everyone. I’m Yoshi Takatsuka.
I would like to provide you with an update on the Takata Airbag situation. Together, through the end of last year,
we had replaced approximately 14.9 million Takata inflators of the 21 million Takata airbag inflators currently
under recall. I want to express my sincere appreciation for your hard work and commitment to take care of
customers affected by Takata recalls.
I would also like to provide you with details of a new Takata recall.
Late last year, Takata informed NHTSA of a recall affecting their Non-Azide Driver’s Inflators – due to an issue
that occurred in Takata’s manufacturing process. In Takata’s report to NHTSA, Honda was named as one of five
automakers that purchased these inflators. Based on Takata’s report, on Friday, January 17th, Honda notified
NHTSA of a safety recall for the Takata Non-Azide driver’s inflators that were used on a number of 1996 to
2003 model year Honda and Acura Vehicles.
It is very important to note that these are not the same Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN) inflators
previously recalled. The inflators included in this new recall action are non-azide driver’s inflators. They
contain a different propellant than ammonium nitrate. In fact, this recall is not due to a failure of the
propellant. Again, it is the result of an issue that occurred in Takata’s manufacturing process.
Since the affected vehicles are over 20 years old, we do not have remedy parts at this time. Please rest
assured that we are working diligently to prepare parts as soon as possible. However, in compliance with
federal law, we will mail the safety recall notification to affected owners by mid-March. In this communication,
we will instruct owners to await further instructions.
Once replacement inflators are available, we will send another communication to owners instructing them to
schedule an appointment with their dealer. We will keep you informed of any future developments and activities
via iN message.
Customer handling will be extremely important and we will have to work together to resolve each individual
customer’s concerns. You have received an iN message and Service Bulletin providing handling instructions for
customers that come to your dealership for service. In addition, please refer any customer with questions or
concerns to American Honda’s Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

1 Associated Investigation
Takata NADI Airbag Inflators
NHTSA ID: EQ19002
Dated opened: December 16, 2019
In a Part 573 Defect Information Report (DIR) dated December 3, 2019, Takata (TK Global LLC) notified NHTSA of a safety-related defect in certain Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI), produced between May 1, 1995 and August 31, 1999, which lead to NHTSA Safety Recall 19E080. According to Takata, NADI inflators produced during this period have the potential to experience moisture ingress due to a defect with the foil seal applied (for hermiticity purposes) at the exit orifices of the inflator housing. NADI inflators do not contain Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN) propellant. When deployed, the presence of elevated moisture in the inflator can result in slow deployment, which could lead to insufficient occupant protection provided by the air bag. In the event of propellant degradation, abnormal propellant combustion creating excessive internal pressure. High internal pressure could result in the body of the inflator rupturing, potentially injuring or killing the driver. Takata did not provide details on the affected makes, models and model years of vehicles that may have been manufactured with the defective inflators and sold in the US, however the DIR named five automobile manufacturers that the defective inflators were sold to, including Audi (VW), BMW, Honda, Mitsubishi and Toyota. Based on the dates of inflator production, it’s likely all affected vehicles would have been produced as model year 1995 through 2000 vehicles.
On November 26, 2019, BMW filed three DIRs announcing NHTSA Safety Recalls 19V851, 19V852 and 19V853. The DIRs stated that BMW had determined Takata produced NADI inflators manufactured before March 15, 1999 were defective due to a tape seal concern. BMW also discussed field incidents that occurred in foreign markets as part of the company’s rationale for reaching the defect determination. One of BMW’s recalls was intended to address vehicles originally manufactured with known defective inflators, another was to address a distinct population of vehicles manufactured with inflators believed to be at higher risk (BMW issued a do not drive recommendation for this population), and the third was issued to address vehicles originally manufactured with inflators not deemed to be defective, but they may have subsequently had a defective inflator installed as part of a service repair procedure. The BMW recalls involved certain model year 1999 to 2000 3-Series vehicles.
The purpose of the EQ is: 1) to obtain information from the five companies named in Takata’s DIR to establish the specific makes, models and model years that were produced with defective Takata driver inflators, 2) to ensure that, if they are not already, all vehicles manufactured with defective inflators are recalled on a timely basis, and 3) to ensure that any vehicle which could have had a defective inflator installed in conjunction with a service repair procedure is inspected to ensure it does not contain a defective inflator.
