AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The front passenger seat weight sensor in your vehicle helps the airbags determine if there's a person in the passenger seat. But in certain models, this sensor can crack and short circuit, which might make the airbags deploy unexpectedly during a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbags deploy without a crash, it could cause injuries to the passenger or other people in the vehicle. This is because the airbags are designed to deploy in a controlled manner during a crash to protect people, but they can cause harm if they deploy unexpectedly.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty seat weight sensor, free of charge. When you get the recall notice, schedule the repair to ensure your airbags work as intended to keep you and your passengers safe.
