What Happened
The weight sensor in your front passenger seat is a small computer that checks your passenger's weight to see if the airbag should deploy in an accident. In some 2017-2022 vehicles, this sensor can crack and malfunction, causing the airbag to deploy unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag deploys unexpectedly, it could get in the way of your passenger's face or body, increasing the risk of injury or harm.
Free Fix
Your authorized Honda dealer will replace the faulty sensor with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair when you get the recall notice, and you can also contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138 for more information.
