RECALL: Takata Air Bags, Critical Warning
Critical Warning Regarding Certain 2001-2003 Honda and Acura Vehicles with Takata Air Bags
NHTSA urges consumers to not drive these vehicles unless they are going straight to a dealer to have them repaired immediately:
2001-2002 Honda Civic
2001-2002 Honda Accord
2002-2003 Acura TL
2002 Honda CR-V
2002 Honda Odyssey
2003 Acura CL
2003 Honda Pilot
New test data on the defective Takata air bag inflators in these vehicles show a far higher risk of ruptures during air bag deployment than for other recalled Takata air bags.
If you own one of these vehicles, search the Recalls Lookup using your vehicle identification number (VIN) at vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin to confirm that the vehicle has an unaddressed recall and needs a repair. If it does, immediately call your dealer to schedule a free repair. Replacement parts for these vehicles are available.
