Known issues on the 2013 ILX. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module: on the first, an inflator explosion may send sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants; on the second, the inflator is at issue in a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag. The third covers the door latch — if the door is not fully latched, it may open while driving or in a crash. Owners have filed 85 complaints and 42 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems.
From a routine service interval on the hybrid to an air bag inflator module replacement or a door latch and lock linkage repair, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your 2013 ILX.

There is a possibility that the cable can move far enough out of position to prevent the door from properly latching.
Consequence
If the door is not fully latched, the door may open while driving or in a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front door latch assemblies in the affected vehicles, free of charge.

Hi - My driver's side door keeps unlocking and registering as if I am opening it as I am driving. I've attempted to have this fixed (stopped unlocking for about a year) but it has started back up within the last month. It's now come to my attention that upon searching for safety recalls on my car, that there was a recall back in 2012 (12V338000) on my car for what sounds exactly like the issue I've been having. I have an appointment to get Driveshaft Corrosion (20V-770) recall fixed on 11/6, but
