AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
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, 1997-1998 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.
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 Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAIN ISUZU AND WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED AS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. THANK YOU, MARGIE MAZUR *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS SUDDENLY SHUTTING DOWN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE, EVERYTHING WENT BLANK, THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN UNTIL THE CAR COULD NOT START. I HAVE TRACKED IT TO THE IGNITION SWITCH WHERE I HAD TO SOMETIMES HOLD IT HALFWAY IN STARTING POSITION IN ORDER TO START THE CAR OTHERWISE IT WOULD NOT START (IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START) I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE AND IN FACT IN FOUND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR IGNITION SWITCH, I CALLED HONDA DEALER FIRST AND THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CAR AND STATED TO CALL ISUZU MOTORS BECAUSE IT WAS SOLD THROUGH THEM. I CALL ISUZU MOTORS AND WAS TOLD THAT IN FACT THIS IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT THE END OF 2002. I SPOKE WITH THE REP ABOUT THIS ISSUE CLAIMING THAT OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THEY HAVE DECLINED TO REPLACE IT AND STATED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF I WANT TO HAVE IT DONE. I AM ASKING AND DEMANDING THAT ISUZU REPLACES THIS BAD IGNITION SWITCH AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR
