Recalls: Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid
Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid: Takata airbag recall #1
In July 2015, a recall was issued for a 2012 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid vehicle and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. For this vehicle, the driver’s airbag inflator had propellant wafers which could absorb moisture over time. If the driver’s airbag deployed, its inflator housing could rupture and metal fragments could be projected through the cabin – these posed a risk of serious injury and fatality to vehicle occupants. The VIN of the recalled Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid was JHMGP1850CS203936 (PRA 2015/14819).
Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid: Takata airbag recall #2
In February 2016, a recall was issued for 2012 to 2013 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid vehicles and this recall was updated in September 2017 with new information. In these vehicles, the driver’s front airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure upon deployment. If an affected airbag deployed, the increased internal pressure could cause the inflator to rupture and metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion – this posed a risk of serious injury or fatality to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid vehicles, please seePRA 2016/15197.
2012 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid: Takata airbag recall #3
In February 2016, a recall was issued for 2012 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid vehicles and this recall was updated in September 2017 with new information. In these vehicles, propellant tablets in some air bag inflators may absorb moisture – this could create excessive internal pressure when the airbag was deployed such that the body of the inflator could rupture upon deployment, increasing the risk of injury to the driver and other occupants. For the VINs of the recalled 2012 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid vehicles, please seePRA 2016/15198.
2013 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid: Takata airbag recall #4
In January 2018, a recall was issued for 2013 model year Honda GP1 Jazz Hybrid vehicles. Over time, propellant wafers in the passenger airbag could absorb moisture. In the event of airbag deployment, the airbag inflator housing could therefore rupture and cause metal fragments to be dispersed throughout the cabin – these fragments posed a risk of serious injury and fatality to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16523.
