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, 3,010 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 8 months.
Defect
In the passenger-side airbag inflator, repeated cycles of environmental temperature and humidity cause the propellant to deteriorate. When the airbag deploys, this deterioration can cause abnormal pressure buildup inside the inflator, which may rupture the inflator housing.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the passenger-side airbag inflator with the corrected part, prioritizing older vehicles first. If parts are unavailable, as an interim measure, the passenger-side airbag function will be deactivated and a warning indicating that the airbag is non-operational will be displayed on the passenger sun visor.
