Honda Recalls 2016 CR-Vs Over Airbag Inflators

–

While the majority of vehicles recalled due to potentially injurious Takata airbag inflators are from the 2011 model year and earlier, GM recently recalled 395 vehicles due to a “suspect lot” of seat-mounted side airbags. And now Honda’s recalling a select group of 2016 CR-Vs over a potential issue with the driver’s front airbag inflator.

–

From the NHTSA recall report: “The current defect hypothesis is that airbag inflator contained in the driver front airbag module may have been improperly stamped and/or contains a defect in the material used to manufacture the airbag inflator’s metal housing, which, in the event of airbag deployment, may cause inflator components to separate.

–

“If the inflator components separate, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material possibly causing injury or fatality to vehicle occupants.”
