What is wrong
On certain sedans, a tear in the fabric of the driver's front air bag occurred after apparent contact with the inside surface of the air bag cover during deployment.
The risk
A torn air bag may not offer the same level of protection, in the event of a crash, thereby increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
The fix
Dealers will install a protective fabric flap between the air bag module cover and the inner module. The recall began on november 30, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Honda recall no. P54. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
