## What is wrong

Honda is recalling certain model year 2003\-2004 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured February 13, 2002, to August 13, 2004, and 2003 Acura MDX vehicles manufactured February 21, 2002, to September 23, 2003.  Due to electrical noise, a component in the air bag control module may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.


## What can happen

Inadvertent deployment of the air bags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Honda dealers will replace the supplemental restraint system electronic control unit \(SRS ECU\).  The recall began on February 22, 2016.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-800\-999\-1009. Honda's number for this recall is JN6 \(Odyssey\), and JN7 \(MDX\).  Note: This recall supersedes recall 13V\-412.  Vehicles that had a noise filter installed as the remedy for that campaign need to have the SRS ECU replaced under this campaign.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
