SRS CONTROL UNIT IS THE ELECTRICAL / COMPUTER PART THAT RUNS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND HAS FAILED TWICE IN THE PAST 14 MONTHS. THE "SRS" LIGHT REMAINS LIT AT START-UP. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $360+ ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTS IN HONDAS, AS MY PARENT'S ACCORD HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND I HAVE FOUND OTHER OWNER'S COMPLAINTS POSTED ACROSS THE INTERNET. AMERICAN HONDA (AS I AM SURE OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE THE SAME) WON'T STAND BEHIND THESE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL PARTS FOR MORE THAN 12 MONTHS / 12,000 MILES. I BELIEVE A VITAL SAFETY COMPONENT SUCH AS THIS SHOULD BE DESIGNED AND BUILT WITH WARRANTEE TO LAST LONGER THAN THE HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER NON-ESSENTIAL ELECTRICAL PARTS. I AM SURE OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED, AS I HAVE BEEN TWICE NOW IN 5 YEARS, BY THIS FAULTY COMPONENT.*AK

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULES HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED. THE CLOTH FLAPS COVERING THE FOLDED AIR BAG MAY HAVE BEEN TUCKED IN TOO FAR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. IN A CRASH, AN IMPROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S AIR BAG MODULE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING.
