AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The front passenger seat weight sensor in your vehicle is a small electronic device that helps the air bag system decide whether to deploy in the event of a crash. Over time, this sensor can crack and short circuit, leading to unintended air bag deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor fails, your air bags could deploy unexpectedly during a crash, which could cause serious injury to you or a passenger in the front seat.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty sensor with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice, which will be mailed to you on July 6, 2026.
