Aisin Front Passenger Air Bag Sensor Recall for Unintended Deployment

Aisin World Corp. of America is recalling certain front passenger air bag weight sensor assemblies that may crack and short circuit, potentially causing unintended deployment or failure to deploy.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect in the air bag sensor system that can cause unintended deployment or failure to deploy, which the source states increases the risk of injury. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury reports' (implied by the nature of air bag failure).

Plain-English summary

Aisin World Corp. of America (Aisin) has submitted a Defect Information Report regarding certain AEIL weight sensor assemblies used in front passenger air bag systems. This recall is based on determinations made by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (recall 23V-865) and American Honda Motor Co. (recall 24V-064).

The affected sensor assemblies may crack and short circuit. This defect can cause the air bag to deploy unintentionally or fail to deploy as intended in a crash. An air bag that does not function as intended increases the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

Vehicle owners should refer to the respective vehicle manufacturers' recalls for specific remedy information. Owners of Toyota vehicles may contact customer service at 1-800-331-4331, and owners of Honda vehicles may contact customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
