What owners wrote
The contact owned a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the front driver's side and passenger's side air bags deployed inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the front driver's side air bag knocked him out, and he became unconscious, causing the vehicle to be involved in a collision. No further information was provided. The contact stated that he only recalled being assisted out of the vehicle.
The air conditioner stopped blowing air. While researching the issue I found a recall for the HVAC blower fan. This VIN number model is displaying the same symptoms as the recall for the HVAC blower. I called the dealer and they said that my VIN model number doesn't have a recall or a recall for this issue. I think is a valid recall because it is pretty much doing the same thing.
