This just in from Yahoo!!
DETROIT (Reuters) - Japan's Honda Motor Co. (news - web sites) Ltd. (7267.T) is recalling 257,616 of its Accord sedans from the 2004 and 2005 model years because of potentially faulty air bags, U.S. federal safety regulators said on Monday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (news - web sites) said a tear may occur in the driver's side front air bag of the Accords, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The recall is expected to begin on Dec. 6 and owners of the vehicles affected should contact the U.S. division of Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Well here it is from NHTSA... On Nov 17 this is the report filed about it.
Make: HONDA
Model: ACCORD
Type: ANY
Year: 2004
Recall Number: 04V551000
Summary:
ON CERTAIN SEDANS, A TEAR IN THE FABRIC OF THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG OCCURRED AFTER APPARENT CONTACT WITH THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE AIR BAG COVER DURING DEPLOYMENT.
Consequence:
A TORN AIR BAG MAY NOT OFFER THE SAME LEVEL OF PROTECTION, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE FABRIC FLAP BETWEEN THE AIR BAG MODULE COVER AND THE INNER MODULE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON DECEMBER 6, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
Notes:
HONDA RECALL NO. P54. CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION’S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236). |

That sucks. Talk about negative press on Honda's part. Well, at least they recalled it before it got out of hand, like Ford DIDN'T do with the Pinto. |

Thanks for the heads up Hoth. I was looking at purchasing a 2004 Honda. Needless to say that is out the window. |
