| Consequences |
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. |
| Corrective action |
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began February 16, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are B0K and L0J. |
