is this for only the 2001's????

I searched for recalls ont '02 and '99 and there weren't any so yes they only have it listed for the '01's

 

[gsrsilv]

thanks for the info man..but why only 403 units...hopefully mine isn't one of them

dropping by acura tomorrow.

They'll send a notice to you...

My father's '99 TL and '01 Accord V6 both had some weird recall a few months ago.

Of course, it can't hurt to go by the dealership...go test drive something while you're at it

Why only 403 units? Usually something like this happens because something on an assembly line breaks or gets messed and no one notices until a few (in this case 403) units get out the door. Improperly welded? Could be anything, robot gets a dirty weld tip, robot gets miscalibrated etc etc.

nope, if you are the only owner they should send you something but it wouldn't hurt to call and ask. I would if it was me

you can go to Acura's web site and enter your Vin # they will tell you of any recalls on your car

If everything goes as planned,the next Toronto meet is at an Acura dealership in a couple weeks.

I'll kill 3 birds with one stone - meet/service & inspection/replace defective airbag.

[silvertegGS]

speaking of the recall... I have noticed that my SRS idiot light stays on for a couple seconds after i start my car. Does that mean I have a problem? or is that normal?
