Unintended firing of Honda Airbags!

Here is an information piece from Honda Motor Company!

“On certain 2007 ~ 2008 Honda Civics, trying to diagnose the
SRS system with HDS may cause the Passenger Side Curtain
Airbag to deploy. If this happens, it may cause bodily
injury to the technicians, and unintended damages to the
vehicle interior.

To avoid this potential problem, refrain from diagnosing
2007 ~ 2008 Honda Civic SRS system with HDS for the time
being. HDS software fix will be released on September 18,
2013, and you will receive further instructions on how to
obtain one year software subscription FREE of charge. Upon
receipt of this software, update your HDS PC without delay.

Note: Unlike your old HDS software, new software will expire
after one calendar year. If you choose not to update your
software, you will risk having an unintended airbag
deployment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may be cause.

Sincerely,

American Honda Motor Co., Inc.”
