Honda Recalls 2019 CR-V for Incorrect Airbag Owner's Guide Information
Honda is recalling 2019 CR-V vehicles because the owner's guide incorrectly describes the Passenger Airbag Off indicator, potentially increasing injury risk in a crash.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is a documentation/labeling error (owner's guide) rather than a mechanical defect, fitting the 'Minor labeling errors' criterion for a Moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2019 CR-V vehicles. The owner's guide incorrectly describes when the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator should illuminate. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
If the front passenger does not correctly understand how the airbag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
Honda will notify owners and provide a sticker with the correct information to be added to the owner's guide, free of charge. The recall began November 14, 2019. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Honda's number for this recall is X6G.
