The new Mazda 2 and Volvo V70, included in the same euroncap release, also demonstrated a similar problem with delayed deployment of airbags. Both manufacturers took steps to rectify the problems in their vehicles. Mazda improved the airbag control software and had the car re-tested, finally receiving 5 stars, and committed to contact all new Mazda 2 owners to ensure their cars are upgraded.
In my opinion, to get the green flag on the driver's head and 5 stars for the 2008 Civic is just a matter of improved firing of the driver's frontal airbag. Honda should take care of this and upgrade all 2008 Civics.
