AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #26V332000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The weight sensor in your front passenger seat is a small part that helps the airbags deploy correctly in a crash. In some 2018-2024 models, this sensor can crack and malfunction, causing the airbags to go off unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbags deploy unexpectedly during a crash, they can cause injury. This is because they're not designed to deploy at the same time as the other safety systems, so they might not work together as intended.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty weight sensor with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
