- Air bags
"TAKATA RECALL" MY "CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT" IS ON CONSTANTLY SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG THAT IS AFFECTED. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX MY AIR BAG, BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL. I HAVE NEVER, EVER, EVER HEARD OF A CAR THAT IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 43,000 MILES THAT NEEDS A NEW AIR BAG? THIS CAR HAS NEVER, EVER, EVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! HOW DOES AN AIR BAG GO BAD THAT HAS NEVER DEPLOYED??? I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A NEW DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. IF I DID HAVE THE MONEY, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW AIR BAG ON A NEW CAR. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN IN USE…

NOTICING RIGHT NOW JUST THE INTERMITTENT STAGE OF THIS NEW CLUTCH NOISE ON AN UPHILL/INCLINE ALSO THE INCREDIBLY COMMON VTC ACTUATOR COLD START NOISE ON BASICALLY ALL K24 VARIATIONS, STILL RESEARCHING IF THESE TWO ARE CORRELATED WHICH I BELIEVE SO AT THIS MOMENT I WRITE THIS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS 15' CIVIC SI 9 MONTHS AGO, 06 OF 18' WITH JUST OVER 20K. HAD THE COLD START NOISE PROBABLY 5 OR 6 MONTHS IN AS IT BECOMES WINTER AND NOW I'M GETTING CLUTCH NOISES PLUS I FEEL SLIGHT DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ AND I'VE DONE WAY TOO MUCH RESEARCH, IT STARTS OUT AS A TYPICAL NOISE EVEN HONDA CANADA THEMSELVES CLAIM AS NOTHING BUT HAD LEAD TO CASES OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO COMPLETE…

NHTSA defect investigations
- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator RuptureOpen
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled…
- Electrical overstressClosedLed to recall 20V024
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation to determine if the failure of airbags to deploy during severe crashes, in certain vehicles, was the result of a safety related defect. During the investigation a complex failure was studied that can result in non-deployment of subject vehicle air bags and other restraint system devices in severe crash events. The subject vehicles may be equipped with an airbag control unit (ACU) for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) manufactured by ZF-TRW.  The ECU receives signals from crash sensors mounted in the vehicle and deploys the vehicle air bags and seat belt pretensioners in accordance with manufacturer design specifications.  The ECU in the subject vehicles contains a model DS84 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which controls the communication of the crash sensor signal,…
