Official summary

Service bulletin - American Honda is conducting a study of driver airbag inflators from selected vehicles. With customer?s consent, remove the airbag module, inspect the inflator and, if the customer has a Takata inflator, replace the airbag inflator. The driver?s airbag inflator will be sent to Takata.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
