RE:
Recall: 2002-06 Multi-Model Airbag Inflator SERVICE UPDATE
On Monday, June 23, 2014, Acura announced three recalls for various 2002-06 Acura models. At this time, affected VINs
have not been determined. Due to this, the following models are subject to a recall and stop sale order in all regions of
the United States and US territories:
2002-03 CL
2003-06 MDX
2005 RL
2002-03 TL
Because both VIN information and parts availability are unclear, all of the vehicles in the above model/model year range
should be treated at this time as “potentiallyaffected vehicles.” Accordingly, Acura is providing the verbiage below to
facilitate service of these “potentiallyaffected vehicles.”Should a “potentiallyaffected vehicle”arrive for service, the
client must be advised that their vehicle may be subject to a recall and the dealer must document that they advised the
client. The following suggested text should be included on the repair order. This information should be printed out
completely any time service is conducted on a vehicle within the model/year ranges listed above. Once VIN specific
information is available, the normal procedures under DOM 7.2.1 will apply for this recall.
Suggested Verbiage to be included on Repair Order:
“Client advised that:
The vehicle may be subject to one or more recalls affecting the driver’s and/or passenger’s front airbag inflators.
Redesigned airbag inflators are not available for installation at this time. Once redesigned parts are available, the
registered owner of the vehicle will receive notice to bring the vehicle in for replacement of the component.”
Once additional information regarding affected VINs is available, Acura will activate VIN status inquiry and update all
dealers via iN message and service bulletin.
