June 9, 2010
Applies To:
2010 ZDX - From VIN 2HNYB1H..AH500100 thru 2HNYB1H..AH502461
Safety Recall:
Front Passenger's Airbag May Not Deploy Correctly (Supersedes 10-007, dated April 16, 2010, to revise the information marked by asterisks)
*REVISION SUMMARY
Under INSPECTION PROCEDURE, a step was added, and another was revised with new information.*
BACKGROUND
Normally, the dashboard area outlining the front passenger's airbag is laser-scored. On a few vehicles, the scoring was not made. If the dashboard is
unscored, the front passenger's airbag may not deploy correctly, increasing the chance of injury to vehicle occupants during a collision.
CLIENT NOTIFICATION
All owners of potentially affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. An example of the client notification is at the end of this
service bulletin.
Within the VIN range above, only a small number of vehicles have an unscored dashboard. To verify vehicle eligibility, you must check at least one
of these items:
^ The client has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition to the listed items, check for a punch mark above the first character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means
the vehicle has already been inspected and, if needed, repaired.
Some of the vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be inspected, and repaired if needed,
before they are sold or leased. To see if a vehicle is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it, leasing it, or returning it to a
service customer.
118
Should an unrepaired vehicle that was in inventory, or that came in for service after this service bulletin was issued, cause an injury or property
damage because of the campaigned item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and
indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check the dashboard for an X-mark under the left side of the passenger's dashboard trim. If there is no X-mark, replace the dashboard.
