Service bulletins for the 2001 Honda Civic
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.

| Service Bulletin | 2017-07-31. Service bulletin. AIR BAGS. Service bulletin - A manufacturing error can produce over-pressurization of some replacement driver's (front) airbag inflators 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. |

| Service Bulletin | 2017-07-17. Service bulletin. AIR BAGS. Service bulletin - Certain Honda vehicles operated in areas known for high absolute humidity may contain a front passengers airbag that, over time, may be affected by exposure to the humidity, which could produce excessive internal pressure upon deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the increased internal pressure may cause the inflator casing to rupture. Metal fragments could be propelled upward toward the windshield, or downward toward the front passengers foot well, possibly causing an injury to vehicle occupants. |
