Nearly 100,000 Honda vehicles recalled over airbag issues

Honda is recalling nearly 100,000 vehicles due to airbag complications, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The safety regulator has flagged a defect that could trigger the unintentional deployment of airbags.

Honda said the defect is in the front passenger seat’s weight sensor. A capacitor inside the sensor’s printed circuit board can crack after exposure to humidity and could lead to a short circuit, the recall notice said.

“In the event of a crash, the front passenger frontal and knee airbags may deploy” even if the occupant is an infant in a child seat, a child or a person below a certain size limit “for whom deployment should be suppressed, increasing the risk of injury,” Honda said.

Most of the models affected include the Accord Hybrid, ​the Honda Acura TLX and specific 2022 Accord vehicles:

• 2016-2022 Honda Civic
• 2016-2022 Honda Accord
• 2017-2022 Honda Accord Hybrid
• 2017-2021 Honda Civic Hatchback
• 2017-2018, 2021 Honda Civic Type R
• 2017-2022 Honda CR-V
• 2017-2022 Honda Pilot
• 2017-2021, 2023, 2025 Honda Ridgeline
• 2017-2020, 2022-2026 Acura MDX
• 2018-2026 Honda Odyssey
• 2018-2020 Honda Fit
• 2018-2021, 2023 Acura TLX
• 2019-2021 Honda HR-V
• 2019-2021 Honda Passport
• 2019-2022 Honda Insight
• 2019-2024 Acura RDX
• 2020-2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Honda had received 228 warranty claims as of May 14, the recall notice said. The company also said it has no reports of injuries or deaths related to the issue in the U.S. from Feb. 4, 2021, to Oct. 30, 2025.

Honda said registered owners will be contacted by mail and instructed to take their vehicles to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer, where the seat weight sensor will be replaced with a nondefective part.

Owners are expected to receive notification letters beginning July 6 and can reach Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138, along with Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238.
