Additionally, if not included in "Zone A" above, Honda is recalling certain 2009 Acura TSX, Honda Fit and Pilot, 2008\-2009 Honda Accord, 2006\-2009 Civic, Civic Hybrid and Civic NGV, and 2007\-2009 Honda CR\-V vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B."    Additionally, if not included in "Zone B" above, Honda is recalling certain 2008 Honda Accord, 2006\-2008 Honda Civic, Civic Hybrid and Civic NGV and 2007\-2008 Honda CR\-V vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.    These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment.  In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.


## What can happen

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger side air bag inflator, free of charge.  The manufacturer has mailed an interim notification, and will send a second notification when parts are available.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's numbers for this recall are KE1 and KE2.


## 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.
