Honda car owners with older models advised to park until ‘dangerous’ air bags are replaced
Owners of approximately 8,200 older Honda vehicles with Takata airbag inflators are being urged not to drive until the parts are replaced.
On Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a “Do Not Drive” advisory for many 2001 through 2003 Hondas after the Takata inflators proved to have a 50% chance of exploding and hurling shrapnel in a crash.
NHTSA said the risk to drivers and passengers is “dire” because if the inflators blow apart, the flying shrapnel could cause serious injuries or death.
Vehicles affected include the 2001 and 2002 Honda Accord and Civic, the 2002 Honda CR-V and Odyssey SUVs, the 2003 Honda Pilot, the 2002 and 2003 Acura 3.2 TL and the 2003 Acura 3.2 CL.
