Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 honda cr-v. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the front of the vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained head, neck and shoulder injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
While driving my honda crv ex at aprox 50 MPH I rear-ended a small light weight truck traveling aprox 35 MPH. In a vain attempt to avoid the collision I slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel of my crv hard to the right. The rubber bumper of the truck and my front left lights and hood took the impact. My complaint is that the airbag in my crv did not deploy and I severely injured my right shoulder, neck and back. I also injured my right foot. Knee and hit my head on the steering wheel. My insurance adjuster is saying that my crv needed to be hit directly on the rubber bumper in order to deploy; so the existing airbag is fine and will not be replaced. The body shop concurs though the firemen at the seen disconnected the airbag while the emts were removing me from the vehicle stating that since the airbag did not deploy on impact, it could, in fact deploy at any time in the future without provocation. After discussing the situation with individuals who've owned and operated body shops for many, many years, they and I feel that the existing airbag is somehow defective. The vehicle has not been in an accident until now.
I was involved in a rollover accident in nov. Of 2005 and I was driving a honda crv 2001. The airbags did not deploy during the accident or after. The vehicle rolled several times and there was over 100 feet of debris. Why didn't the air bags deploy? The crv was a total loss.

- What is wrong
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1‑888‑234‑2138.
