Honda has recalled 1,90,578 vehicles in India to carry out replacement of front passenger airbag inflators. The models affected include the previous generation Accord, CR-V, Civic, City and Jazz.

This exercise is a part of Honda’s global recall campaign concerning Takata front airbag inflators. The replacement will be carried out free of cost at Honda dealerships across India in a phased manner. While the campaign for CR-V and Civic will begin immediately, the replacement of inflators for other affected models is scheduled to begin from September 2016. The company will communicate with the owners of the affected vehicles directly.

Additionally, customers can check whether their cars are covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the microsite which has been created on the company’s website.
