Like others, I have had an airbag warning light appear intermittently. Apparently, my VIN is affected by this even though this and Honda's website indicates there are 0 recalls for my car. Dealership informed me that this indeed is a recall issue.

Airbag system appears
Light for Air Bag System fault keeps intermittingly coming on. I know it was a problem in the civic until 2011 but I have a 2012 and it may have been an issue or this year as well.
The contact owns a 2012 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at approximately 55 mph, his vehicle crashed into a stopped Ford F-150. The driver was sore where x-rays were performed and medical attention was provided. There was no fire. A police report was filed. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to an unknown location. The air bag warning light illuminated after the impact. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 196,000.
The airbag popped for no reason, and Honda was unable to fix it, 8 months in the dealership with no progress.
Air bag light came on sometime back. Took it to dealer from where we purchased the car and we were told a specific part had failed which came up during Airbag Diagnostics - 77900-TR0-A11 (Reel). Had it replaced per Dealer suggestion. Dealer 'OPEN ROAD HONDA, Edison, NJ'. However the light came back up again. Now the Dealer is saying the Airbag Control Unit is malfunctioning and now I have to replace this part. Please check if there are recalls associated with this model Honda Airbags.
I braked unexpectedly and only my license plate was curved, but the driver passenger bag component popped open. The airbag didn't deploy properly. So if I was in an actual accident, I would have died.

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2012 Honda Civic. The contact stated that upon his girlfriend placing the vehicle into drive(D) while in her garage; the air bags deployed without warning. Black smoke emitted from the vehicle as his girlfriend exited the vehicle; the air bag hit his girlfriend in the face which resulted in a headache, she did not seek medical attention. She called the dealer and they informed her to bring in the vehicle for an inspection. The contact's girlfriend took the vehicle to the dealer on two occasions where they discovered that the air bag light had illuminated on the instrument panel but quickly disappeared prior to failure. His girlfriend was given an estimate for repair. The contact called Performance Kings Honda(9131 Fields Ertel Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45249) where he was given an appointment to have a second diagnostic performed on the vehicle. The contact attempted to reach the manufacturer but was unsuccessful. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
The contact owns a 2012 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to multiple local dealers and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
My light for airbag inspection came on shortly after purchase. When we asked about it during a routine service we were told that shouldn't be happening. We were told the airbags are still working and they do not know why that is happening but, they were not interested in taking care of the issue even tho the car was under warranty at the time and several recalls were being issued for other cars with the Takata Airbags in them. Because of this poor service we decided to stop using your service. Now, several years later I have become aware of all the problems others are having with your airbags and requested a call back from a supervisor because no one answering your phones has offered any responsible response to this problem. No one is able to get a hold of a supervisor. I was finally given a case # thru an email from an unknown person with no contact information. I am very upset that I was not notified about this safety concern sooner and do not accept the system that you are using to get out of fixing a problem you pretended to know nothing about. Every time I try to find out which airbags are in my car I am referred to Takata Lawsuit over dysfunctional exploding bags are going off in older vehicles. I simply do not trust your process after many attempts to contact a responsible party and told they will get to it but, no one gets back and they have show no concern at all on their part. I do not wish to wait any longer for a correct response. it is long past due.
Check Airbag System light will turn on as soon as I start driving. SRS Code 11-10 open in the driver's airbag first inflator.
Collision left front of car, passenger air bag deployed, drivers did not. Car was driving on a parking lot steering to the left and I struck concrete piller protecting lamp post
Check air bag system warning message pops up while car is traveling down the road a short short distance. The car has never been in an accident.
When the vehicle was in motion, the car slid a bit. The vehicle passenger rear tire hit the side of the sidewalk, causing the airbag to pop.
While the vehicle is in motion and making left or right hand turns (90 degree turns) with the vehicle going ~10 MPH the airbag warning lightturns and stays on for some time before it disappears. However, the frequency of the airbag warning lights have increased. I took the vehicle to the dealership for further investigation and was told the issue is coming from a cable reel and the driver inflation may need to be replaced too. According to the honda technician- if the issue/parts remain unfixed, the airbag will fail to deploy in a forward movement crash.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda civic. The contact stated that the son was driving approximately 35 MPH before crashing into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash the air bags did not deploy, the message "check air bag" had displayed and the seat belt buckle had unlatched causing the driver to contact the steering wheel. The driver sustained injuries to both knees. A police report taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failures were not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was not available.
The check air bag system comes on and stays on!
Air bag light comes on. Have there been similar complaints on honda vehicles? The light stays on. While driving on a city streets the light stays on.
Passenger airbag inflator sensor started showing up in my 2012 honda civic. I'm worried the airbags might activate. I wanted to know if is a recall
Srs trouble light comes on and goes off randomly.
Every since I got this car (about 3 or 4 years ago) driving the car anytime if I even just placed my purse on the seat I would get multiple air bag warnings that my passenger air bag would be turned off. If anyone would sit on the seat it would give me even more warnings and turn off the air bags. When I would go get it checked everyone would tell me there was nothing they could do since they saw no warning since it would disappear once no one was in my passenger seat. My car now constantly has the air bag warning sign on
Passenger airbag never detects when my son or another preteen close to his age is sitting in the seat. It always turns off/ deactivates. If there was an accident the airbag would not deploy and provide safety for my child or his cousins when inside my vehicle.
Tl* the contact called on behalf of her mom who owned a 2012 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH, the vehicle was involved in a chain reaction accident. The contact stated that the the driver and passenger frontal air bags failed to deploy. Additionally, the seat belts for the driver, passenger, and rear seat passenger failed to operate as intended. The driver and front seat passengers sustained injuries to the head, chest, back, and shoulders while the rear seat passenger sustained abrasions to the face from the back panel of the front passenger's seat. Medical attention was sought by each vehicle occupant. A fourth passenger in the vehicle was not injured. The contact stated that approximately four other passengers from the other vehicles involved in the crash also sustained injuries and medical attention was also sought. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow and recovery facility. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 136,000. The vehicle was destroyed.
"check airbag system" - passenger airbag inflator inside the passenger seat is no longer working, disabling the airbag system
Driver airbag alert light on all the time the passenger air bag light goes off and on all the time
The side curtain airbag on the passenger deployed when the car slightly grazed a snowbank. There wasn't an "impact" between the car and the snowbank. The car speed was less than 10 MPH turning a corner on a residential street. There was absolutely no damage at all to the car. Not a nick or a scratch. The dirt didn't even move on the car. There was no reason for the airbag to deploy.
La luz de :check the air bag system,se esta encendiendo cuando el carro se prende y no se apaga.
I understand that my car has an airbag recall, but never even was notified by anyone, and just found out about a class action law suite, need to know if I will ever get notified about it and will they be fixed ?
While the vehicle was in motion on a highway in a rural area, the vehicle was involved in a collision sustaining front impact causing substantial damage resulting in a total loss of the vehicle. However, with such impact to the front end, the air bags failed to deploy as they should have or are intended to.
