Honda and Acura are recalling 750,114 vehicles from 2020-2022 model years. A defective front passenger seat weight sensor may fail to suppress the airbag, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a defect in a critical safety system (occupant classification sensor for airbags) that could result in unintentional airbag deployment. No injuries or deaths have been reported, and the hazard remains theoretical. Per the rubric, when the source explicitly states no illnesses/injuries reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3.

Plain-English summary

Honda and Acura are recalling certain 2020-2022 model year vehicles due to a defect in the front passenger seat weight sensor. The sensor may crack and short circuit, potentially failing to suppress the front passenger airbag as intended. This defect creates a risk that the airbag could deploy unintentionally during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The recall affects 750,114 vehicles across multiple Honda and Acura models from 2020-2022, including the Civic, Accord, Pilot, HR-V, Odyssey, Fit, Civic Type R, Insight, CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Passport, Ridgeline, Accord Hybrid, and the Acura MDX, RDX, and TLX.

Honda dealers will replace the seat weight sensors at no charge. Owner notification letters were sent in March 2024, October 2024, and August 2025 as part of a phased recall process.
