The 2000 Honda CR-V has 2 recalls, both involving the driver's frontal airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin.
These two recalls cover the same defect across vehicles that received a replacement driver airbag module, whether as original equipment or as part of a prior repair. In either case, the inflator can fail when the airbag fires in a crash, breaking apart and projecting metal pieces toward the driver or other occupants.
