    Honda/Acura recall in Canada: Airbag may deploy with too much force

    Share:

    In plain language

    This recall affects certain 2002-2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003-2004 Acura MDX, 2003-2004 Honda Element, and 2004 Honda Pilot vehicles in Canada. The propellant in the passenger frontal airbag could degrade over time. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal, sending fragments toward occupants and preventing proper function, which increases the risk of injury.
