Honda Cars India (HCIL) on Wednesday said that it will carry out preventive replacement of the passenger side air bag inflator of 1,085 units of Accord and 252 units of CR-V manufactured in 2003 and one unit of CR-V manufactured in 2002.
This is part of Honda’s global recall regarding the potential defect related to passenger air bag announced last month, the company said.
“In case of certain vehicles, due to a problem during the propellant forming process, the casing of the inflator may get damaged when the airbag deploys in an accident or other situation potentially causing injury to vehicle occupants,” the company said.
Global exercise HCIL is carrying out the part replacement as part of a global exercise by Honda Motor Company to ensure stringent quality standards for its products. However, no incident related to this part in India has been reported, it said.
“The replacement would be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India in a phased manner and the company will communicate with contactable customers directly.”
The customers can also check whether their car will be covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric vehicle identification number (VIN) on the special microsite, which has been created on the company’s website, it added.
