    04-07 Euros now affected as well. http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/in...itemId/1070990

    Called the dealer today to book in the service before they are swamped, they knew nothing about it lol. I guess I will wait a few days and call back.

    Not sure if my 2006 Euro is affected...

    According to
    http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vehicle...onda/VIN_Codes
    http://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Honda

    (ps. these are the 2006 ranges only!)
    My 2006 Euro's VIN: JHMCL9 5306C 207xxx
    Recall is FROM: JHMCL9 6306C 200228
    Recall is TO: JHMCL9 5806C 222673



    5 = Body type and transmission
    3 = Grade
    0 = Check grade
    6 = Year
    C = Plant

    Question 1. Why does the recall start at a higher VIN code JHMCL9 6306C and go down to JHMCL9 5806C (63 is higher than 58)
    Question 2. I assume we just ignore the middle part of the VIN altogether, and just focus on the last 6 serial digits. If that is the case, then my VIN is in-between:

    200228 Recall Start
    207xxx My Euro <<< in between!
    222673 Recall End

    Therefore my Euro IS affected, correct?

    ( by the way, just realised it is the passengers front airbag, not the drivers thankfully )

    Correct you want the last 6. If you look at the codes you'll see that for 2006 its 200228-222673 if your vin is between this you need a replacement.

    Thought so, thanks for clarifying.
    Passengers can jump in the back for the meantime unless they dont mind random shrapnel busting through their left eye (happened to some dude in the US).

    Are you sure? mine is 203738 and when i called my dealer with it, they claim that I am no affected (also 06 Euro Lux)

    EDIT: just called Honda Aus head office and they have also confirmed that mine isn't yet recalled but they are awaiting Honda Japan for any more being affected

    Same, dealer had no idea about the recall when it was first announced the other day. Called Honda today to confirm my postal address and they said my vehicle is not affected (although it is in the range of VINs), but Honda Japan has to provide updates.

    What a shitstorm, it will take years to replace all these airbag modules. I just have to cross fingers that I haven't got anything wrong with mine because I almost always have a passenger in the car.

    (Compared to the number of affected vehicles that would have been in bad accidents to date, not that many have been made worse by a dodgy airbag - so there is a little hope.)

    Just back from Rosebery Honda dealer And confirm my postol address. They have confirmed my 2006 lux is within range of recall but still need time to confirm which one was affected ! Right now I would just drive my wrx . Maybe I shd wear a helmet when driving the euro for repair.
