## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain model year 2001\-2005 Honda Civic vehicles manufactured March 21, 2000, to January 20, 2005, 2001\-2004 Honda Civic GX vehicles manufactured June 14, 2000, to August 19, 2004, 2003\-2005 Honda Civic Hybrid vehicles manufactured February 24, 2002, to January 18, 2005, 2003\-2007 Honda Accord vehicles manufactured February 21, 2002, to August 28, 2007, 2002\-2004 Honda CR\-V vehicles, 2002\-2003 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 19, 2001, to July 12, 2003, 2003 Acura MDX vehicles manufactured September 19, 2002, to June 19, 2003, 2003 Honda Element vehicles manufactured June 25, 2002, to July 31, 2003, and 2003 Honda Pilot vehicles manufactured November 26, 2001, to August 21, 2003.  The affected vehicles have a passenger side frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture upon its deployment.


## What can happen

In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the passenger seat occupant or other occupants possibly causing serious injury or death.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflator, free of charge.  The recall began on July 1, 2015.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's numbers for this recall are JU4, JU5, JU6, and JU7.  Note: Vehicles that have already received a replacement passenger air bag inflator as part of the recall remedy for an earlier campaign such as 14V353 or 14V700 \(Honda recall numbers S95, JH6, JH7, JH8, JH9, JJ0, JJ1, JJ2, JJ6, JM5 and JM6\) are not included in this recall.  However, this recall does supersede 13V132 and 14V349.  Note: On December 18, 2015 Honda informed NHTSA of an expansion of this recall to include certain model year 2004 Honda CR\-V vehicles in addition to additional model year 2003 CR\-V vehicles.


## 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.
