Basic reading comprehension > me today
Seems weird that they'd change airbag manufacturer half-way thru the generation.... then back to Takata for the next gen

Meh, I think Gas Buddies has bad info.
Today, Honda announced a recall of air bags installed during the first recall. As far as TLs go, only 02-03 TLs are involved.
Edit: Never mind, I miss-read the article. Read the full article. Interesting back story to how they arrived at this new recall. And yes, this sucks for us 3G owners...:

It's unfortunate and fortune news for us 2004-2006 TL owners. I will say this, the dealership I worked for (years back) was on top of their inventory with inflators. We were doing 10-15 recalled 2nd gen TL inflators every day. Very easy job to do. However, considering my vehicle has not seen a dealership in the last 4 years (they replaced my dashboard under goodwill) I'm very hesitant on having them work on my TL. I would rather do the recall myself in their parking lot to be honest, but i'll see if any of my previous co-workers are still around that would do the job. I did run my vin on Acura's website and it doesn't come back with any open recall on the airbag inflator. I have called the two local dealerships who I have a lot of connections with, apparently this is all new news to them. All I was told is to hang on tight til Honda/Acura corporate start running vins. I had a feeling our vehicles were affected because i've looked at our inflators many times and noticed the same stampings the 2nd gen had. Of course Acura would delay on this since the 3rd gen TL was one of the highest selling generation. Wait 15 years later to do this year so that most 04-06 are already in their graves.

I'm a little confused. In its statement, Honda says the only affected vehicles are A) those that were previously recalled and received a replacement inflator, or B) those that had an inflator replaced following a deployment.
That doesn't read like 250k+ additional vehicles just got recalled. But if the PSDI-5D found its way into previously non-recalled vehicles as part of a repair, wouldn't today's recall still increase the total number of recalled vehicles?
The vehicles involved in this recall were previously repaired using specific Takata desiccated replacement inflators (PSDI-5D) or entire replacement airbag modules containing these inflators, neither subject to recall at that time.
...
Since this recall involves replacement inflators installed in vehicles previously subject to recall, the total number of Honda and Acura vehicles affected by Takata recalls does not change with this action.

From that NHTSA link, this recall does not appear to include original inflators:
FWIW my VIN still doesn't return any active recalls on recalls.acura.com or NHTSA.
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.

I received a call from a long time buddy of mine who works in the parts department. They were aware of this since early last week or so. The parts are being supplied soon to the dealership where they will start reaching out to owners of these 2004-2006 3rd gen TL's. Same thing happened with my wife's engine recall, everyone knew about it for MONTHS and it took MONTHS for them to come up with the recall notice with the correct repair needed. Two years later they are still sending out new recall stuff for those that had their engines replaced and for a knock sensor recalibration to be done. In other words, it will take some time, but I see this moving along quickly.

04-06 TL Takata Driver Airbag Safety Recall
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:19V-182MFR CAMPAIGN ID:M45
CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:04-06 TL Takata Driver Airbag Safety Recall
RECALL DATE:03/06/2019
RECALL STATUS:17 Character VIN Required
SUMMARY:American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Acura) is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Acura TL vehicles. A replacement driver frontal airbag inflator was installed in your vehicle to remedy a previous airbag inflator recall, or that a driver frontal airbag module containing the replacement inflator was installed in your vehicle as a service part. The replacement driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure upon deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the increased internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.
SAFETY RISK:In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material and into the vehicle interior at high speed, potentially causing serious injury or death to you or others in the vehicle.
REMEDY:Please call any Acura dealer and make an appointment to have the driver frontal airbag module replaced for free. For additional questions or to get help locating a dealer, owners may contact American Honda Customer Support and Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

Driver side only... And this recall is only to replace airbags/actuators that were previously replaced, not the original airbag/actuator...

Yeah, so since 3G TLs were never on the original recall list, the only 3G TLs affected by this recall are 04-06 TLs which had an airbag replaced (due to deployment or airbag related MIL, maybe for some other reason I'm not thinking of)..
I'm guessing that Justn's TL will be on this list (I think his curb eating TL was a 3G?). The rest of us 3G owners that still have the original airbag are not affected by this latest recall.

From the NTSB web site:
https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2006/A...DR/FWD#recalls
Summary:
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling specific 2003 Acura 3.2CL, 2013-2016 ILX, 2013-2014 ILX Hybrid, 2003-2006 MDX, 2007-2016 RDX, 2002-2003 3.2TL, 2004-2006, and 2009-2014 TL, 2010-2013 ZDX and 2001-2007 and 2009 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic, 2003-2005 Civic Hybrid, 2001-2005 Civic GX NGV, 2002-2007 and 2010-2011 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2007 Fit, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2008 Pilot, and 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles. 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.
My understanding is ALL 2004-2006 TLs were impacted by the original airbag recall, and as such, will be covered by A) the original recall (if the airbag has yet to be replaced), or B) the new recall (if the airbag was replaced under the original recall).
Since I was not a TL owner back when the original round of airbag recalls hit the street, I'm not sure if my understanding is correct. I'd appreciate it if someone would correct me if I'm wrong.
