Component
AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER
Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The sensor in your passenger seat is designed to determine if a person is sitting there, so the front air bag deploys correctly in an accident. In some of your 2017-2022 Honda or Acura vehicles, this sensor can crack and fail, causing the air bag to deploy unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag deploys unexpectedly, it could cause serious injury to your passenger. This could happen if you're involved in a crash, and the air bag inflates with too much force or at the wrong time.
Free Fix
Your Honda or Acura dealer will replace the faulty sensor with a new one, free of charge, as soon as you get a recall notice. This repair is urgent, so schedule it as soon as you can to ensure your passenger's safety.
