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 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.

Original — What Happened
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback and Civic Type R vehicles. Driver and front passenger seatback pads sold as replacement service parts were made without slit openings for the seat-mounted side air bags. In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the seatback pad would interfere and adversely affect air bag performance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the seat-mounted air bags cannot not deploy correctly in the event of a crash, there would be an increased risk of injury.
Original — Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seatback pads, free of charge. The recall began June 15, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is E1D, U1B, and X1C.
