Stop Sale/Safety Recall: 2003-04 Odyssey SRS Unit Malfunction UPDATE
On September 18, 2013, American Honda notified NHTSA of a Safety Recall for some 2003-04 Odyssey vehicles for the
issue covered in service bulletin 13-088, Safety Recall: Electrical Noise May Cause Inadvertent Airbag Deployment. On
January 27, 2015, American Honda notified NHTSA of a revised repair for that recall.
Note: Affected vehicles should not be sold until the repair outlined in the current service bulletin has been performed.
Should an unrepaired vehicle cause any injury or damage because of the required recall repair, the dealership will be
solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any
resulting claims.
The original repair consisted of the installation of an electronic noise filter to counter inadvertent airbag deployments
due to electronic interference. After further testing, American Honda has observed a small number of inadvertent
deployments in vehicles that already received the recall repair. Due to this, American Honda has determined that the
SRS unit should be replaced in all affected units.
Updated SRS are now available for open order, and service bulletin 15-013, Safety Recall: SRS Unit has been revised
with parts, warranty and repair procedure information.
Note that vehicles that received any service under service bulletins 13-088 and/or 15-026 will still require the 15-013
procedure completed as well. Bulletins 13-088 and 15-026 have both been expired as of today, October 9, 2015.
Please make sure all repair orders opened October 9, 2015 or later reference the warranty parameters listed in bulletin
15-013.
American Honda expects to begin re-notifying customers of parts availability in late November.
