Honda issues recall for 748,000 Pilot and Odyssey vehicles for potential airbag problem

Honda says it’s recalling 748,000 Pilot and Odyssey vehicles because of a possible problem with their driver’s-side airbags.

Honda says that the airbags may have been assembled without some of the rivets needed to secure their cover. That could keep them from deploying properly in the event of a crash and increase the possibility of injury.

No crashes or injuries have been reported related to the issue.

The effected Pilot SUVs were made for the 2009 through 2013 model years, while the Odyssey minivans in question were made for the 2011 through 2013 model years.

Not the only Honda defect

They should also issue a recall for the catalytic converters that burn out from 120 000 - 140 000 km's. A known defect that costs the owners around $1500 - 2000 to repair. This is rarely covered on an extended warranty either. Beware of Honda, Google the warranty issues before buying one!
