NHTSA recall 04V551000
Air Bags · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: On certain sedans, a tear in the fabric of the driver's front air bag occurred after apparent contact with the inside surface of the air bag cover during deployment.
Why it matters: A torn air bag may not offer the same level of protection, in the event of a crash, thereby increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
The fix: Dealers will install a protective fabric flap between the air bag module cover and the inner module. The recall began on November 30, 2004. Owners should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
