What this recall covers
- The defect
- Honda is recalling certain model year 2003 and 2004 Odyssey and model year 2003 Acura MDX vehicles.

- The risk
- Inadvertent deployment of the air bags may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a noise suppressor unit, free of charge. The recall began on November 1, 2013. A renotification letter went out on July 11, 2014 for the 2003 Acura and the 2003-2004 Odyssey. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
