2006 Honda Civic recall: airbag
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain 2-DOOR passenger vehicles, the front passenger occupant detection system (ods) contains a faulty electronic component. As a result, the ods will not function properly and will not suppress front passenger air bag deployment when the weight of an infant or small child is detected in the front passenger seat.
💥 The risk
In certain circumstances, a deploying front passenger air bag CAN increase the risk of injury to an infant or small child.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the ods unit, free of charge. The recall began on january 16, 2006. Owners may 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.)
