NHTSA recall 16V056000
Air Bags · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: American Honda motor company, Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Accord vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail.
Why it matters: If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control units, free of charge. Parts are expected to be available in fall 2016. Interim notifications have been mailed to owners on March 15, 2016, and a second notice will be mailed when remedy parts are available.
