Recall Alert - Honda Philippines Recalls 2003-2004 Civic

If you have a 2003 to 2004 Civic, then read this piece of information. Honda Philippines is issuing a recall based on the original announcement of Honda Motor Co. Ltd.

The issue that its international counterpart found out because of the passenger side airbag, HCPI informs that it related with the inflator body of the airbag that has a tendency to explode due to excessive internal pressure.

While this issue is still under investigation, Honda had started to send letters to affected owners and will be contacted by their authorized dealers through phone. If the car had been sold, the original owner must notify the dealership at once to inform the new owner. Affected owners are encouraged to bring their cars to replace the passenger side airbag inflator free of charge.

Repairs had started last January 13, 2015, with affected owners being requested to contact their nearest Honda dealership.

To check if your vehicle is affected, Honda Cars Philippines had published a table below with affected vehicle identification numbers or you may check their website for more information.

To check at other vehicle recalls, go to our comprehensive recall alert page.
