Service bulletin APAS12222016901
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
DEALER MESSAGE - ON DECEMBER 14, 2016, HONDA RELEASED THE ALPHA VIN DMV-SOURCED DATA TO DEALERS. AS YOU KNOW, LABORATORY TESTING SHOWS ALPHA VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INFLATOR RUPTURE RATE AS HIGH AS 50% DURING AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. OUR NEED TO CONNECT WITH THESE CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES IS URGENT. IN ADDITION TO THE SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL EFFORTS MADE BY AMERICAN HONDA, WE ASK THAT EACH DEALER DEVELOP A PROCESS TO CONTACT THESE HIGH RISK ALPHA CUSTOMERS IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND BEGIN IMMEDIATE PROACTIVE OUTREACH.
