AAA Urges All Drivers to Check for Open Vehicle Recalls

Finding open recalls at NHTSA.gov/recalls is quick and easy.


With the recent “Do Not Drive” warning issued by Honda for thousands of vehicles equipped with extremely dangerous and unrepaired Takata Alpha air bag inflators, AAA is urging all drivers to immediately check the recall status of every vehicle they drive. 


Earlier this month, Honda issued a warning for more than 8,200 Honda and Acura vehicles

manufactured between 2001 and 2003 that are still on the road with defective Takata airbag inflators that have a 50 percent failure rate. If the inflators rupture, metal fragments can be propelled toward the driver’s face, causing devastating injuries or death.


Although Honda has replaced or accounted for nearly 99 percent of the recalled inflators, the remaining 8,200 vehicles subject to the warning remain unrepaired and unaccounted for. Models with the defective air bags include:


•    2001-2002 Honda Accord 
•    2001-2002 Honda Civic 
•    2002 Honda CR-V 
•    2002 Honda Odyssey 
•    2003 Honda Pilot 
•    2002-2003 Acura 3.2 TL 
•    2003 Acura 3.2CL
