About a month after Honda Cars Philippines issued what it calls a “preventive measure” campaign regarding the airbags of Pilots, Accords and Civics, it is issuing a new round of similar measures on more models. To be specific, this program is to address a suspected defect in the inflator of the driver-side airbag.
The vehicles involved are the following:
* 2007-2011 CR-V;
* 2006, 2009-2012 Jazz;
* 2006-2011 Civic;
* 2003-2011 City; and
* 2011-2012 Insight.
We know the Insight was never officially sold in our market, so these units could be special orders.
Why use the politically correct term “preventive measure” instead of using the more popular word “recall”? Well, because it really is a preventive measure. This is a suspected defect, and no reported accidents or inquiries have occurred for this concern in the Philippines.
If your Honda is one of the affected models on the list below, you can set an appointment with any Honda dealership or service center nationwide. The replacement of the airbag inflator will take about one hour, and is free of charge for parts and labor. For more questions, Honda gave a telephone number (857-7240) and an e-mail address (update@hondaphil.com) for Honda owners.
Here is the list of the affected models:
