| Description |
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate. |
| Consequences |
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. |
| Corrective action |
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. |
| 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. |

June 2011 I discovered black goo dripping from my rear view mirror. How bizarre? The temperature had been in the 90's, but that is not new. It is a 2000 Acura TL and spent the last 10 years here. It also was discolored in odd pattern behind the mirror. Looked like blobs. It had dripped onto the console, but I manage to get it off. The mirror appeared to have blown a seal and with enough force to break it loose at the ball/stem where it rotates for adjustment. It was attached but it no longer stayed in place after adjustment. It just pointed toward the floorboard after minor vibration when driven. The next day There were deep pits in the plastic console piece around the shifter where goo had dripped. Windshield developed a small crack that radiated from area where the interior rear view
