Disposal of Damaged Components

Disposal of Damaged Components

1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure for the driver's airbag, front passenger's airbag, side airbag, seat belt tensioner and seat belt buckle tensioner.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by cutting, stripping, and twisting together the two inflator wires.

NOTE: The driver's and passenger's airbag each have four wires; twist each pair of like-colored wires together.

3. Package the component in the same packaging that the new replacement part come in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SEAT BELT TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED" or "DAMAGED SEAT BELT BUCKLE TENSIONER" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.
