In case you haven't heard, on Monday, May 18th 2015, the Takata Corporation has
determined that some of its airbags may rupture from exposure to persistent
conditions of high absolute humidity and/or due to manufacturing variability.
This affects certain 2003 Honda Accords and certain 2001-2006 Honda Civics. Both original and replacement equipment are at risk. According to safercar.gov, in the event of an accident "the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants."
Takata will be working with vehicle manufacturers to identify into which vehicles the affected inflators were installed either as original or replacement equipment during service. As this work progresses, numerous vehicle recalls will likely be announced by the impacted vehicle manufacturers. NHTSA will supply this information as soon as possible.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
