REPAIR PROCEDURE - CIVIC, CIVIC HYBRIDeBay logo, CR-V, ODYSSEY, AND PILOT

NOTE:
Be careful not to damage any parts when replacing the inflator, and follow the procedure exactly.


If, before removing the airbag, 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.
Do not open the inflator kit until you have confirmed a Takata inflator is installed in the vehicle because if you have

to return the inflator, the kit must be unopened.

If the vehicle you are working on has an Autoliv airbag and inflator, do not disassemble the airbag because the
inflator cannot be reinstalled, and you will have to replace the airbag module.
1.

Remove the driver's airbag.

2.

Peel the label located inside the inflator box from its backing and attach it to the R.O. For the warranty claim to be
paid, the replacement inflator part number that you received must be on the warranty claim and your warranty
clerk must enter the serial number in the Diagnostic Trouble Codes field.
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 R.O. 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 R.O. The part number always starts with 047.

4.

Visually inspect the airbag and the inflator for any unusual writing or markings.

If there is nothing unusual about the airbag or the inflator, go to step 5.
If there are any unusual markings, like an incorrect label or a model year written in marker, the airbag and
inflator may not be the correct airbag and/or inflator for the vehicle or it may be a counterfeit part. For more
information about counterfeit airbags, you can refer to safercar.gov, enter keywords MANAGING
COUNTERFEIT, and select Recommended Dealer Guidance for Managing Counterfeit Air Bags from the
list. If you suspect that the airbag or inflator is counterfeit, do not continue this procedure. Contact your
DPSM for assistance.

below.
NOTE: 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 HondaeBay logo.

If the airbag is made by Takata, go to step 6.
