Honda Canada Initiates Recall to Replace Faulty Airbags

Honda has announced that it is voluntarily initiating a “Safety Improvement Campaign” in Canada affecting certain 2001 through 2010 Honda and Acura vehicles to replace the driver’s front airbag inflator.

The initiative will cover approximately 700,000 vehicles in Canada.

Owners of affected vehicles will be requested to bring their vehicles to an authorized Honda/Acura dealer for replacement of the affected part.

The action is being taken to address the concerns of our customers residing outside the regions of high temperature and high absolute humidity, thereby supporting the ongoing investigation into this issue currently underway in the United States.

To date, Honda Canada is not aware of any reported claims of injuries or deaths in Canada relating to a ruptured airbag inflator of any Takata produced airbag in a Honda or Acura vehicle.

A summary of affected Canadian models (certain specific vehicles only) follows:

2001-2007 Honda Accord with 4-cylinder engines
2001-2002 Honda Accord with V6 engines
2001-2005 Honda Civic
