- Manufacturer: HONDA \(AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.\)

## What is wrong

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR ACURA 2010 MDX VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN OCTOBER 7, 2009 AND NOVEMBER 14, 2009.  A BOLT USED TO ATTACH AN INTERIOR TRIM PIECE TO EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE A\-PILLAR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED DURING MANUFACTURING.


## What can happen

IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH RESULTING IN SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, THE TRIM PIECE MAY NOT REMAIN PROPERLY SECURED TO THE A\-PILLAR, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND/OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE INTERIOR TRIM PIECE OF THE A\-PILLAR AND IF A BOLT IS MISSING IT WILL BE INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE.  FOUR VEHICLES WERE PURCHASED BEFORE THE STOP\-SALE WAS ISSUED AND ALL THE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND REPAIRED IF NECESSARY.
