Honda Accords, Honda Civics, Acuras, Honda CR-Vs -- looks like almost every popular model of Honda driven on U.S. roadways today may be at risk of an airbag that explodes without warning.
The Honda recalls of airbags just got lots bigger today, and now we're talking over 1,600,000 Honda vehicles that may be dangerous to drive - and are being driven.
What's the New Honda Airbag Recall?
Honda announced in a company press release yesterday that Honda was increasing the number of Honda and Acuras that were being recalled. And, it's a lot of cars that have been recalled: 833,000 cars to be exact.
What's going on? Seems that Hondas can have flaws in their airbag inflators -- and the airbags can suddenly pop. That's right: you're driving along, and there goes the airbag.
Specifically, you need to stop driving your vehicle and have it checked out at the Honda dealer if you drive a:
- 2001 Accord
- 2002 Honda Accord
- 2001 Honda Civic
- 2002 Honda Civic
- 2002 Honda Odyssey
- 2002 Honda CR-V
- 2003 Honda CR-V
- 2002 Honda Acura 3.2 TL
- 2003 Honda Acura 3.2 TL
- 2003 Honda Acura 3.2 CL.
This is the THIRD recall of Honda airbags. We can only hope that it's the last.
