Honda Odyssey Air Bags Safety Report | Oct 10, 2011
Reported on Oct 10, 2011
| WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY (I ESTIMATE SPEED AT 65-70), IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE STRUCK AN OBJECT IN THE ROADWAY. THE OBJECT LEFT A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE FRONT BUMPER, SEVERED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE AND MAY HAVE SCRATCHED THE SHIELD ON THE GAS TANK. THERE WAS NO GROSSLY OBVIOUS DEFORMITY OF THE WHEEL OR CLEAR DAMAGE TO TIRE. THE IMPACT ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRONT END IS NOT YET CLEAR, AS THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP. DESPITE THE MILD TO MODERATE NATURE OF THE IMPACT, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE LEFT CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES HOWEVER, IT IS MY PERCEPTION THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INAPPROPRIATELY, CAUSING A FAIR DEGREE OF ALARM AND EXTENSIVE INTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VAN. *KB | |
