Certain models built between Oct. 7 and Nov. 14, 2009, may have a missing bolt that’s supposed to attach an interior trim piece to either the driver- or passenger-side A-pillar. If the vehicle is involved in an accident and the airbag deploys, the trim piece may break free of the A-pillar, which greatly increases the risk of injury to the driver and front seat passenger.
Dealers will inspect the interior trim piece and install a bolt if it’s missing. The inspection and any repair is, of course, free. Owners may contact Acura at 800-382-2238 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
