REVISION SUMMARY Under PARTS INFORMATION, torx bolts were added. Under REPAIR PROCEDURE, an inspection step was added for Autoliv inflators. Under WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, Inspect the Airbag Only was added.
BACKGROUND In certain vehicles, the replacement driver's (front) airbag inflator (from either a previous recall repair or an airbag module replacement) could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the increased internal pressure may cause the inflator casing to rupture. Metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, possibly causing injury or fatality to vehicle occupants.
There are several bulletins with similar years and models. make sure to do an iN VIN status inquiry and follow the indicated service bulletin.
NOTE If the VIN status inquiry indicates that the vehicle is subject to any open safety recalls, including a front passenger's airbag inflator campaign/recall, make sure to also complete those recall repairs before returning
CUSTOMER INFORMATION:The information in this bulletin is intended for use only by skilled technicians who have the proper tools, equipment, and training to correctly and safely maintain your vehicle. These procedures should not be attempted by "do-it-yourselfers," and you should not assume this bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle has the condition described.

the vehicle to the customer. If you are unable to complete any open recall, advise the customer of the recall status and when the recall could be completed.
You may receive a different part number than ordered, and the inflator may appear different. As a result, there may be different installation instructions. Make sure you review this service bulletin for installation instructions and details about model applicability.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign.
Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory.
Failure to repair a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the customer or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this safety recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the driver's airbag inflator, then return the original, undeployed inflator as directed.
REQUIRED TOOLS
Part Name Bulldog Metal Snips
Part Number MWT6716B
Quantity 1
NOTES
· The metal snips have smaller jaws compared to regular tin snips to give you better mechanical advantage and allow the snips to fit in the tight area around the airbag.
· Make sure you use these snips to minimize the amount of debris created. Never allow any debris to fall into the airbag while the inflator is out of the airbag module.
· Replace the snips when they are dull. Dull snips may contribute to the horn plate being bent or creating small pieces of metal that could get into the airbag.
· If you need a replacement or more snips, contact the Tool and Equipment Program at 888-424-6857.
PARTS INFORMATION
NOTE Always use new Torx bolts to install the airbag module. The new Torx bolts are coated with threadlock to make sure they do not come loose.

REPAIR PROCEDURE NOTE: · If the VIN status inquiry indicates that the vehicle is subject to any open safety recalls, including the front passenger's airbag inflator, make sure to also complete those recall repairs before returning the vehicle to the customer. If you are unable to complete any open recall, advise the customer of the recall status and when the recall could be completed. · Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio and navigation system (if applicable), then write down the frequencies for the radio's preset buttons. · Be careful not to damage any parts when replacing the inflator, and follow the procedure exactly. · If, before removing the airbag module, you suspect that it may be the incorrect airbag for the vehicle or a counterfeit, do not remove the airbag. Contact your DPSM for assistance. · Make sure you have reviewed the SRS Precautions and Procedures in the service information before doing the REPAIR PROCEDURE. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and check if the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds, then turns off. · If the indicator comes on, then turns off after about 6 seconds, go to step 2. · If the indicator does not come on, or if it stays on, contact your DPSM for assistance. 2. Disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least 3 minutes before continuing. 3. Remove the driver's airbag module. Refer to the applicable vehicle's service information. 4. Place the airbag module, face-down, on a clean shop towel.

5. Civic only - Determine if the airbag is made by Autoliv or Takata by comparing the inflators to those in the images below. NOTES The Autoliv serial number label is different from the Takata label; the Autoliv has 11 characters, the Takata has 9. · If the airbag is made by Autoliv, the airbag is OK. Reinstall the airbag using new Torx bolts. Torque the bolts to 9.8 N·m (7.2 lb-ft). If you already received a replacement inflator, return the unopened kit to American Honda. · If the airbag is made by Takata, go to step 6. NOTE If the airbag is made by Takata but has an Autoliv inflator, go to step 6.

6. Peel the label located inside the inflator box from its backing and attach it to the RO. For the warranty claim to be paid, the replacement inflator part number that you received must be included in the warranty claim. NOTE: · The replacement part number is printed on the top part of the label and the serial number is printed on the bottom. Make sure you attach the label to the RO and give it to the warranty clerk. · There may also be a colored sticker located in the kit, ignore it because it is not used. · Not all inflator kits have a label included. In those cases, write the serial number and part number from the side of the inflator box on the RO. The part number always starts with 047.
7. If there is no horn plate installed, go to step 8. If there is a horn plate installed, there are two ways to access the inflator. NOTE 2007-14 Ridgeline - you do not have to remove the horn bracket. Go to step 8. 7.1. Remove the horn plate - all except CR-V. 7.1.1. Remove the four horn plate mounting bolts, the mounting bolt felt washers, the horn plate, and remove the felt tape covering the lower two inflator locknuts. The felt washers and felt tape will not be reused.
Page 7 of 16
7.2. Cut the horn plate - Only for CR-V. NOTE
If the bracket has been previously cut, go to step 8. 7.2.1. Using a marker, draw a line on the horn plate as shown.
7.2.2. Using the snips, cut along the line drawn. NOTE
Always use sharp snips. If they are dull and you twist or wiggle them back and forth, you may warp the horn plate, which would require a new airbag module.
Page 8 of 16
7.2.3. Take the felt tape and cut it into two pieces. Apply to the cut surface for protection. NOTES
· Do not file the metal edges. · Make sure the felt tape does not interfere with the horn plate or horn plate springs.
7.2.4. Measure the space between the two copper contacts on the horn plate as shown. The space should be between 1.1 and 1.9 mm. NOTE There is a copper contact on each side of the airbag module. · If the spaces are within specification, write the measurements on the side of the horn plate. · If either of the spaces is out of specification, try to correct it. If the space is too large, use a pair of pliers to close the space, or if the gap is too small, use a flat headed screwdriver to open it up so that the copper contacts are within specification. Write down the measurement on the side of the horn plate.
Page 9 of 16
8. Using needle-nose vise grips or a 3/8 in. 6-point socket, remove the four locknuts from the inflator. The locknuts will not be reused. NOTE Do not remove the inflator from the airbag module until you complete step 9.
9. Use shop air to clean any debris that may be on the inflator, then remove the inflator from the airbag module. NOTES
· Do not allow any debris to enter the inflator opening in the airbag. · Do not deploy the inflator. The inflator must be returned to its supplier in the box the new inflator came in. Follow
the shipping instructions supplied with the inflator kit. If you have any questions about shipping, call Warranty Parts Inspection (WPI) at 937-642-2737.

10. Turn over the airbag module (inflator side down), and shake it to remove any debris from the inflator opening.
11. Install the new inflator in the airbag module.
NOTE
There may be some minor surface rust or corrosion on the new inflator; this is OK.
