NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V182000

Manufacturer Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

Components AIR BAGS

Potential Number of Units Affected 1,108,939

The affected vehicles received a replacement driver air bag inflator as part of a previous Takata inflator recall remedy or a replacement driver air bag module containing the same inflator type as a service part. Due to a manufacturing error, in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, these inflators may explode.

NHTSA US article also applies to Canadian products although not listed yet on Canadian Honda recall list.

Oops. Does it mean our airbags which were replaced, still needed to be replaced again. Anyone has an idea?

It would appear so.

That's the way I read it too.

Ours is not on the NHTSA recall list...yet. It might just be too early for them all to be listed.

OTOH, another article I read said that the parts are available so hopefully it won't be a six month wait like last time.

Definitely not a long wait. I found out about the recall on Monday and scheduled and appointment for this morning. Went there and 2 hours later recall done and I was on my way.

Had my 14 RDX done, off to the dealer again. No recall notice yet.

I didn't get an official notice in the mail either. I read about it in the news and called the dealership. After confirming my VIN is affected, they set me up with an appointment right away to get it fixed.
