I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. TWO WEEKS AGO, MY SLIDING DOOR SENSOR WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE DOORS WERE CLOSED BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE THE ALARM IN THE CAR WOULD SOUND AS IF ONE OF THE DOORS WAS OPEN. I CHECKED THE DOORS AND AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING THEM, THE ALARM DID NOT SOUND. I WAS DUE TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED FOR ITS 75,000 MILE SERVICE SO I WAITED TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S ROUTINE SERVICE, AS I DO FOR EACH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1,100 TO FIX. I EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HONDA IN TURN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY (APPARENTLY THE WARRANTY WAS NOT A HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH, THIS IS WHAT ROSENTHAL HAD PORTRAYED IT AS) ABOUT THE REPAIR AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD CALL THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO COMPLAIN IF I FELT SO INCLINED TO DO. I CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY SAID THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 75,063 MILES. THEY DID NOT CARE THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN THIS BE A NON-RECALL ISSUE IF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION IS THE EXACT REASON WHY I PURCHASED HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. IF I HAD KNOW THE DOORS ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD COST THAT MUCH TO FIX I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THAT VAN. *JB

Official recalls
6Jan 17, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.

These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A FUSE BLOWS, ENGINE POWER, OR OPERATION OF ANY OR ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN, AND THE ANTI-LOCK FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES. A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OR LIGHTING, OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FEATURE IN BAD WEATHER, COULD RESULT.
