Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants

NHTSA reports that certain vehicles may have improperly manufactured rear grab handle brackets. During a crash, a bracket could puncture a side curtain air bag as it deploys. If that happens, outboard occupants may face a higher risk of injury. The concern may not create a noticeable driving symptom, which is why waiting can be a risk: the safety system may be needed without warning. Honda's specified remedy is replacement of the rear grab handle bracket at no charge through an authorized dealer.
