I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DEVICE RECALL BY MAIL WITH INDICATION THAT MY LOCAL DEALER WOULD CONTACT ME. I CONTACTED PERFECTION HONDA IN ALBUQUERQUE, 898-0000, IN EARLY JULY AFTER NO ONE CALLED ME AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT BUT WERE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THEM. I HAVE CHECKED BACK EVERY MONTH SINCE THEN AND THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA 9/5/2016 AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP THAT MY ONLY OPTION IS TO WAIT UNTIL PERFECTION HONDA CALLED ME AFTER RECEIVING THE PART. SO IT IS NOW 5 MONTHS LATER AND I STILL HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR AND NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO OR ABLE TO HELP??!! IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO OPERATE ON THE ROADS? WHAT'S THE RISK? WHAT CAN YOU DO?

SPECIFICALLY, IN SOME VEHICLES, THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD PRODUCE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE UPON DEPLOYMENT. IF AN AFFECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE INCREASED INTERNAL PRESSURE MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE (BREAK APART) AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY. I GOT THIS RECALL IN FEB 12, 2016 HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET TAKEN CARE OF, BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS?

LAST NIGHT I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT I SHOULD NOT EVEN BE DRIVING THE CAR. AND, "HONDA IS TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS, AND THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX ALL THE REMAINING VEHICLES."

Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."

Risk: If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling specific 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2013-2016 ILX, 2013-2014 ILX Hybrid, 2003-2006 MDX, 2007-2016 RDX, 2002-2003 3.2TL, 2004-2006, and 2009-2014 TL, 2010-2013 ZDX and 2001-2007 and 2009 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic, 2003-2005 Civic Hybrid, 2001-2005 Civic GX NGV, 2002-2007 and 2010-2011 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2007 Fit, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2008 Pilot, and 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles. The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, these inflators may explode.

Risk: An explosion of an inflator within the driver frontal air bag module may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver, front seat passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began April 10, 2019. Honda owners may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is O41. Acura owners may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

These vehicles are equipped with certain inflators assembled as part of the frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment (such as after a vehicle crash necessitating replacement of the original air bags), may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to higher absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Risk: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
