Filing in context
The Airbag is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 225 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 18 Honda notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 50 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 11 months.
Defect
In the front passenger-side airbag inflator, repeated cycles of ambient temperature and humidity variation may degrade the gas generant. During airbag deployment, this degradation can cause abnormal pressure buildup inside the inflator, which may rupture the inflator housing. As an interim measure where replacement parts are unavailable, the passenger airbag system will be disabled and a warning indicating that the airbag is non-operational will be displayed on the passenger sun visor.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a corrected part, prioritizing oldest vehicles first. Where parts are not yet available, disable the passenger airbag as an interim measure and display a warning on the passenger sun visor indicating the airbag will not deploy.
