Defect Description
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1
... 998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.Read moreConsequence
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or

Consequence

Remedy
ON VEHICLES WITH 15,000 MILES OR LESS, THE DEALER WILL UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A SIMPLE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE TO INCREASE LUBRICATION TO THE SECOND GEAR. ON VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 15,000 MILES, THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO IDENTIFY GEARS THAT HAVE ALREADY EXPER
... IENCED DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING. IF DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED IF DISCOLORATION IS NOT PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL PERFORM THE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 21, 2004, FOR PILOT, ODYSSEY, AND MDX OWNERS.

I have a safety concern. When my vehicle was assembled, someone decided to have the workers not remove the protective film from the plastic screen on the navigation system that would typically be released. I assume this saved money and time during production. However, that film has deteriorated and
... crinkled over time, making it difficult to see the screen, especially at night. This does not seem acceptable, and I have been told that the remedy is costly, which upset me as removing the film should have been part of the assembly procedure.Read more

I was stopped in heavy traffic. The traffic light turned green and the cars in front of me started to move. I tapped my accelerator with my right foot and the gasoline was delivered to my engine with maximum force. I could not stop the car with my foot on the brake. I steered the car to the right
... so that I would not rearend the car in front of me. The car sideswiped the car I front of me and I went into an embankment and stopped. A police officer thought I may have hit both the brake and the accelerator pedal with my right foot, but he did not understand that I was only going about 5 mph when the accelerator exploded, so that this was impossible. The Acura agency in Latham says that I could have switched off the ignition, but with both hands gripping the steering wheel and my right foot pressing the brake pedal with maximum force, I could not have turned off the ignition at the same time. Therefore the advice was not practical.Read more

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 19UYA42441A... SUMMARY: THE VEHICLE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUSED BY THE AIR CONDITIONER OUTPUT DIRECTLY ABOVE THE FRAME DRIPPING ON IT TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS OK AND SHOWING NO SIGNS O
... F RUST. I FEEL THIS IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ACURA LOCAL SERVICE AND CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT DISAGREE WITH MY CONCLUSION BUT WILL NOT OFFER ANY REPAIR COMPENSATION TO HAVE THE SUB-FRAME REPLACED. I DISCOVERED IT WHEN INSPECTING THE FRONT BRAKES WITH THE FRONT WHEEL REMOVED. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN UNTIL A CATASTROPHIC FRAME COLLAPSE.THEY SAID THE FRAME SEEMED TO BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND AT THIS TIME BUT IT DEFINITELY WILL NEED REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THEY SAID THEY FOUND ONLY TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT A SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 01 TO 04 CL'S. ACURA TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE AGE, NO COMPENSATION CAN BE OFFERED. I AM A LOYAL ACURA CUSTOMER HAVING PURCHASED 4 OF THEIR VEHICLES IN THE PAST, THE PRESENT ONE A 2015 TLX MODEL. THIS DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO THE ACURA CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE. MY HOPE IS THAT BY IDENTIFYING THE ABOVE PROBLEM, IT WILL HELP PRESERVE PRESENT AND FUTURE ACURA BUYERS AND SAVE AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A FRAME COLLAPSE WITH LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. SINCE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN CAUSED BY AN ENGINEERING DEFICIENCY, I FEEL ACURA SHOULD AGREE TO SUPPORT ALL OR SOME REPAIR COSTS AND NOTIFY CURRENT OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE PICTURES OF AFFECTED AREA.Read more
Incident date: Aug 27, 2015
THE VEHICLE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUSED BY THE AIR CONDITIONER OUTPUT DIRECTLY ABOVE THE FRAME DRIPPING ON IT TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS OK AND SHOWING NO SIGNS OF RUST. I FEEL THIS IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE NOT CAUSED BY NO
... RMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ACURA LOCAL SERVICE AND CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT DISAGREE WITH MY CONCLUSION BUT WILL NOT OFFER ANY REPAIR COMPENSATION TO HAVE THE SUB-FRAME REPLACED. I DISCOVERED IT WHEN INSPECTING THE FRONT BRAKES WITH THE FRONT WHEEL REMOVED. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN UNTIL A CATASTROPHIC FRAME COLLAPSE.THEY SAID THE FRAME SEEMED TO BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND AT THIS TIME BUT IT DEFINITELY WILL NEED REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THEY SAID THEY FOUND ONLY TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT A SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 01 TO 04 CL'S. ACURA TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE AGE, NO COMPENSATION CAN BE OFFERED. I AM A LOYAL ACURA CUSTOMER HAVING PURCHASED 4 OF THEIR VEHICLES IN THE PAST, THE PRESENT ONE A 2015 TLX MODEL. THIS DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO THE ACURA CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE.
