Honda Recall in Canada
The recall concerns Honda, as well as Acura vehicles, in a variety of models across many years. A total of 12,371 vehicles are affected by the recall.
The notice explains the issue is that “on certain vehicles, the weight sensor for the front passenger seat may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the passenger-front airbag and knee airbag could deploy in a crash that doesn’t require them to.” Malfunctioning airbag systems can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
As a side note, the recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2024-059. In the case that the weight sensor fails, the SRS warning light will turn on in the instrument panel.
Owners will be notified by mail to take their vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger-front seat weight sensor.
