The recall is related to the possibility that the front passenger airbag inflator may overpressurize, causing the airbag to malfunction in the event of a collision. Specifically, the airbag inflator contains ammonium nitrate and is not capable of self-drying.
During vehicle use, under the influence of high temperature and humidity for a long time, the Ammonium Nitrate control mechanism in the airbag pump is affected, leading to the phenomenon of airbag pump explosion overpressure. At that time, there may be debris that is dangerous to passengers.
Honda Vietnam has not recorded any cases in the Vietnamese market. The company recommends that customers quickly bring their vehicles to the dealer to check and replace the new, standard airbag inflator.
In 2017, the Japanese car company recalled many cars such as the Accord and Odyssey with faulty rearview mirrors, the Civic with faulty cooling system pipes, and the Accord, Civic and CR-V also with faulty airbags in the front passenger airbag.
