Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Prioritize Air Bag Safety

NHTSA identifies two recalls for the 2013 Honda CR-Z, both involving the driver frontal air bag inflator. One inflator may experience propellant degradation after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature changes, creating a risk of explosion. The other may experience moisture intrusion over time, creating a risk of rupture during deployment. In either situation, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants and cause serious injury or death. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A prompt VIN check helps determine whether Honda’s free inflator replacement remains open for your CR-Z.
