Wow!  What a month for manufactures!  First Toyota with their recall problems…Now Honda has a massive recall of their own.

According to Honda’s press release they are expanding the driver’s side air bag inflator on over 375,000 of their 2001 & 2002 vehicles.  The problem lies in the airbag inflators possibly causing the airbag to deploy with too much pressure causing the air bag to rupture. 

Directly from the press release on Honda’s site as linked above:

In total, Honda is aware of 12 incidents related to this issue as of February 2010. While Honda was aware of two additional events when the decision to first expand the recall was made in July 2009, we are not aware of any new events that have occurred after July 2009. However, we have concluded that we cannot be completely certain that the driver’s airbag inflator in the vehicles being added to this recall at this time will perform as designed. Therefore, we have decided to add certain 2001 and 2002 Accord, Civic, Odyssey, CR-V, and selected 2002 Acura TL vehicles to this recall.*

* We are also adding one (1) Honda Pilot and one (1) Acura CL vehicle, each produced in late 2002, to this recall.

    Honda owners can see if they are impacted here or call they can call 1-800-999-1009
    Acura owners can see if they are impacted here or call they can call 1-800-382-2238.
