  • Recall 151029 [USA]: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. an underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. these scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.

  • Recall 85796 [USA]: Decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 79629 [USA]: Without the amber side reflex reflectors, the lighting visibility may be affected, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 38099 [USA]: Lack of amber side reflectors in the lamps will decrease lighting visibility to other drivers and may possibly result in a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 50863 [USA]: Lack of amber side reflectors in the lamps will decrease lighting visibility to other drivers and may possibly result in a vehicle crash

  • Recall 51208 [USA]: Without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning.

  • Recall 61859 [USA]: Without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Good day: on 17 march 2020, honda advised me that my 1997 civic is included in nhtsa recall 20v-026, which affects the driver frontal airbag module. In the recall notice, honda said the repair parts are unavailable, and promised to notify me when the defective components become available. More than six months later, i am still awaiting word from honda about when my car can be repaired. My honda dealer says they have no idea when the parts will be available. I therefore wish to issue a formal complaint that honda has failed to remedy this defect within the 60-day reasonable time period specified in the recall notice. Thank you for your consideration.
