MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Honda/Civic 2006
MANUFACTURER: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V572000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: December 22, 2005
COMPONENT: Air Bags: Frontal
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 12756
SUMMARY:
On certain 2-door passenger vehicles, the front passenger Occupant Detection System (ODS) contains a faulty electronic component. As a result, the
ODS will not function properly and will not suppress front passenger air bag deployment when the weight of an infant or small child is detected in the
front passenger seat.
CONSEQUENCE:
In certain circumstances, a deploying front passenger air bag can increase the risk of injury to an infant or small child.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the ODS unit, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may
contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
