RE:
Safety Recall: Front Passenger's Airbag Inflator May Be Over-Pressurized-UPDATE
On October 1, 2015, American Honda, in compliance with a request from the NHTSA, will consolidate the following
three national passenger's airbag inflator safety recall service bulletins:
13-034, Safety Recall: Front Passenger’s Airbag Inflator Can Be Over-Pressurized
14-040, Safety Recall: Front Passenger’s Airbag Inflator Can Be Over-Pressurized
15-041, Safety Recall: Front Passenger’s Airbag Inflator Can Be Over-Pressurized
The bulletins will be consolidated into a new document, service bulletin 15-067: Safety Recall: Front Passenger’s
Airbag Inflator Can Be Over-Pressurized, which will contain new warranty coding to be used on all repair orders opened
on or after October 1, 2015. All repair orders opened on or before September 30, 2015 should be filed using the service
bulletin that was applicable at that time. As American Honda does not currently have a systematic method of
"migrating" VINs from one bulletin range to another, claims made against bulletins that were not applicable at the time
the RO was opened will be rejected. Ensure that your dealership is filing under the correct bulletin, based on the RO
open date, to avoid subsequent claim rejection.
To avoid VIN status inquiry inconsistencies, American Honda will continue to regularly monitor, validate and update the
campaign system. This will ensure that VINs are marked as complete in the current campaign for repairs that have been
conducted under previous service bulletins, minimizing customer confusion and inconvenience.
