1994 Honda Civic Del Sol

Component

Air Bags:Frontal

Consequence of Defect

the passenger air bag was improperly installed. the retainer tabs used to secure the lower module to the upper housing were drilled incorrectly.

Corrective Action

if the retainer tabs were drilled incorrectly, the tabs will not have sufficient strength allowing the module to separate from the housing during air bag deployment. the air bag would not inflate properly and a passenger would lose the benefits of a proper air bag deployment during a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

dealers will repair the air bag module assembly by adding reinformcement brackets.
