# NHTSA recall 15V320000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 15V320000 - Manufacturer's number: JQ9 \& JR0\-JR8 - Manufacturer: Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) - Reported: 2015\-05\-28 - Owners notified: 2015\-07\-01 - Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE - Units potentially affected: 6281043 ## What is wrong Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain model year 2001\-2007 Accord, 2001\-2005 Civic, 2001\-2004 Honda Civic GX, 2003\-2005 Honda Civic Hybrid, 2002\-2006 CR\-V, 2003\-2011 Element, 2002\-2004 Odyssey, 2003\-2008 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline, 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2003\-2006 Acura MDX, and 2002\-2003 Acura 3.2TL vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual\-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion and other factors, including manufacturing variability that, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture. ## What can happen In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. ## The remedy Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1\-800\-382\-2238, select option 4. Note: Vehicles that have had their driver frontal air bag replaced previously as part of a recall remedy prior to September 12, 2014 need to have their air bag replaced under this recall as well. Vehicles that, on or after September 12, 2014, received a remedy for a prior driver frontal air bag inflator recall already received an inflator of a different design, and therefore are not included in this recall and do not require additional servicing. Note: This recall fully supersedes recalls 08V\-593, 09V\-259, 10V\-041, 11V\-260, 14V\-351 and 15V\-153. Honda's numbers for this recall are JQ9, JR0, JR1, JR2, JR3, JR4, JR5, JR6, JR7, and JR8. ## 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. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 10, for 2017 quarter 4 - Filed with NHTSA: 2018\-02\-13 - Vehicles in the campaign: 6281043 - Reported remedied: 4252609 \(67%\) - Reported unreachable: 12273 - Reported removed: 898664 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2017 quarter 4, as filed with NHTSA.
