2004–2005 Honda Accord recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sedans, a tear in the fabric of the driver's front air bag occurred after apparent contact with the inside surface of the air bag cover during deployment.
💥 The risk
A torn air bag may not offer the same level of protection, in the event of a crash, thereby increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a protective fabric flap between the air bag module cover and the inner module. The recall began on november 30, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
