Honda recalls 2012 Accord and Crossover models due to air-bag defect

Feb. 3, 2012—Honda recalled certain 2012 Accord and Crossover vehicles because the side-curtain air-bag inflator on the driver side or the passenger side might not have been manufactured according to proper specifications.

In the event of a crash, the side curtain air bag might fail to deploy, which would increase the risk of injury.

Honda will replace the driver-side or passenger-side side-curtain air bag free. The recall is expected to begin Feb. 10, 2012. Owners may contact National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888/327-4236 or go to safercar.gov.
