RE: Recall: 2002-03 CL & TL Airbag Inflator SERVICE BULLETIN UPDATE
Today, February 6, 2015, Acura is announcing a modification to the procedure listed in service bulletin 10-026, Safety
Recall: Replacement Driver’s Airbag Inflator May Be Over-Pressurized to omit the inspection procedure for Takata
airbags.
The original intent of service bulletin 10-026 safety recall was to identify a specific lot of suspect airbag inflators, and
replace them with an improved part. The new direction for this recall population is to replace the airbag inflator in all
affected units with a part that has been further improved and available since September 12, 2014.
Because the inspection is no longer a valid procedure for this campaign, vehicles that have previously been inspected as
OK or have been repaired with a new inflator prior to September 12, 2014 will require further action. These VINs have
already been added to service bulletin 14-029, Recall: Driver’s Airbag Inflator May Produce Excessive Pressure After
Long-Term Exposure to High Absolute Humidity and will require new inflator to be installed. Vehicles repaired with a new
inflator between September 12, 2014, and February 4, 2015, do not require further action at this time for driver’s airbag
inflator concerns. Please refer to the following diagram:
Acura urges all dealers to submit pending claims for service bulletin 10-026 within the next week. Doing so will facilitate
proper handling of VINs that require further action.
