i'm going to call the number and inquire about this to my local dealership ASAP.

 

Fixed.

 

nice 5 lug

 

yes indeed, it's a nice looking vic.

i'm just trying to remind everyone about it. looks like a serious issue.

 

sounds dangerous...and they figured this out 8-9 years later?

 

yeah, better be safe than sorry... call the dealership!

 

Hmm... that would explain this. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2001-2005-78/our-2001-civic-airbag-explodes-steering-column-during-accident-bag-ripped-steering-wheel-pos-2370609/

 

daym dat looks crucial...

 

hmmm... Well... I guess instead of swapping all out (since I'll be putting in a different steering column in anyhow), I'll just keep from rear-ending people

 

^^^ that's a workaround to it.. LULZ

 

No airbag for me so no worry. Except for the fact that I don't have an airbag .

 

daym.. i need to have an airbag... every bit counts.

 

holy...

 

After seeing the pictures from the link about the accident, and knowing that my SRS light is on, I'll be definitely visiting Honda in a few minutes about this problem. Thanks for letting us know, might save my life!

 

ur welcome my friend.. haha.

 

I went to the Honda dealership yesterday, but they told me they don't have any recalls about SRS. Does anyone know anything else? what can we do?

 

yes there is a recall i dont know the s/b # but ill post it later with the s/b

 

see i told yall... haha

American Honda Expands Airbag Safety Recall
Certain 2001-2002 Honda Accord, 2001 Civic and 2002-2003 Acura TL driver's airbags affected

An existing safety recall of the driver's airbag in certain 2001 Honda Accords and Civics due to a potential defect in the airbag's inflation system is being expanded to include more vehicles, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today. Originally initiated in November 2008, approximately 440,000 additional vehicles are included in the expanded recall, which will require the replacement of the driver's steering-wheel-mounted airbag inflator.

In some vehicles, airbag inflators can produce over-pressurization of the driver's (front) airbag inflator mechanism during airbag deployment. If an affected inflator deploys, the increased internal pressure may cause the inflator casing to rupture. Metal fragments could pass through the cloth airbag cushion material, possibly causing an injury or fatality to vehicle occupants.

Registered owners of vehicles that potentially contain affected inflators will receive a recall notice in the mail over the next few months, with the owners of vehicles most likely to include a problem airbag being contacted first. The recall notice will include further instructions to help schedule a repair to each vehicle. Interested owners may confirm their vehicle's recall status by visiting the Honda "Owner Link" website at www.owners.honda.com/recalls or the Acura "My Acura" website at www.owners.acura.com/recalls. Only certain vehicles are affected, and concerned owners of 2001-2002 Accords, 2001 Civics and 2002-2003 Acura TLs are encouraged to wait to receive a recall notice in the mail before scheduling an appointment with their local dealer.

Consumers can verify their vehicle's recall status by visiting www.owners.honda.com/recalls for Honda vehicles and www.owners.acura.com/recalls for Acura vehicles.
