Safety Recall: Driver's Airbag Inflator Can Be Over-Pressurized (Supersedes 08-093, dated September 16, 2009, to revise the information marked by the
black bars and asterisks)
REVISION SUMMARY
*^ Under VEHICLES AFFECTED, the VIN ranges for Civics and Accords were expanded. Also, some 2002 CR-Vs, some 2002 Odysseys, one 2003
Civic, and one 2003 Pilot were added.
^
CR-V, Odyssey, and Pilot were added under the REPAIR PROCEDURE and Example of Customer Letter headings.*
BACKGROUND
A manufacturing error can produce over-pressurization of the driver's (front) airbag inflator during airbag deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the
increased internal pressure may cause the inflator casing to rupture. Metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, possibly causing an
injury or fatality to vehicle occupants.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Not all vehicles within the following VIN ranges are affected by this campaign. To verify vehicle eligibility, you must check at least one of these items:
^
The customer has a notification letter.
^
The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark below the third character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means this campaign has
already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they
are sold.
