Technicians at several dealerships may have installed the replacement inflators in such a way the airbags may fail to deploy in a crash. Honda has since allegedly taken steps to correct repair procedures to prevent this from reoccurring.
The dealers that made the errors are currently attempting to reach owners of affected vehicles to schedule inspections and repairs as soon as possible.
Mailed recalled notices to owners of any remaining unrepaired vehicles will begin in June 2018.
