NHTSA Complaint #10088821 — 1995 HONDA ACCORD

MY SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED BY THE MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THE SRS CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING, TO THE TUNE OF ~$500. I RESEARCHED YOUR RECALL DATA BASE AND FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN SEPT OF 1996 (96V217000). THIS RECALL REPLACED THE SRS CONTROL UNIT. WHEN I CALLED HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. MY VIN # IS [XXX]. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE UNITS FAILING ON HONDAS AND I WAS WONDERING IF THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE COVERED A BROADER UNIVERSE OF VEHICLES.*AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
