Honda is announcing this safety recall to encourage all affected owners to take their vehicles to an authorized dealer to have the inflator replaced free of charge.

In any case the affected vehicle has already been sold; original owners are requested to inform the dealership immediately in order to inform the transferee of this safety campaign.
