NHTSA recall 18V848000
Structure · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: The mounting holes for the clip that secures the right center pillar trim panel may be larger than intended. In the event of a crash necessitating right side curtain air bag deployment, the clip may not hold the center pillar trim panel in position and it may potentially interfere with the curtain air bag deployment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety…
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, if the curtain air bag does not deploy as intended, it can increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket on the right center pillar that will securely hold the center pillar trim clip, free of charge. The recall began January 22, 2019.
