What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible consequence

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.

Remedy

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.
