FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A RAW GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN OF OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN CONSISTENTLY OVER THIS TIME. THEY SMELL IT TOO BUT CAN'T FIND IT. WE HAVE PAID TO HAVE REPAIRED EVERYTHING THEY HAVE SAID IT WAS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. GOOGLE SHOWS ABOUT 4800 POSTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA OF AMERICA SAYS THEY ARE DONE LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM AND SAYS TOO BAD. THE SMELL LASTS ABOUT 2-4 MINUTES AND HAPPENS SOMETIMES EVERY DAY, SOMETIMES TWICE A WEEK AND SOMETIMES WILL SKIP A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WHEN WE HAVE FRIENDS IN THE CAR, THEY ARE ALL AFRAID AS WE ARE THAT THE CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. IT LEAVES US SICK TO OUR STOMACH AND HEAD. *TR

Filed by owners of this model year and unverified by NHTSA — one person’s account, not an established fact.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
Published by model year, not by VIN — may not apply to this vehicle, or may already have been done. Confirm with a dealer.
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) control module contains incorrect deployment parameters for the side and head airbags, which could cause them to deploy inadvertently when the vehicle experiences road impacts. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a faulty circuit board in the passenger seat weight sensor, the passenger seat’s occupant detection system may identify a Steering Wheel Sensor (SWS) error and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light could switch on. This can cause a faulty triggering of the airbags, creating a risk of injuries for a child occupying the passenger seat. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to improper manufacturing of the belt buckle channel, the front seat belt buckles (driver or passenger side) may not lock properly. This could affect the restraining capacity of the safety-belt and increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
