Reported May 21, 2026 · Campaign 26V332000 · Model years: 2020
Honda is recalling certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, HR-V, Fit, Insight, Passport and the Acura TLX, RDX and MDX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short circuit. If that happens, the airbags can go off when they should not during a crash. Dealers will replace the seat weight sensors at no cost. This recall expands an earlier recall.
Reported Nov 14, 2024 · Campaign 24V859000 · Model years: 2023, 2024
In these vehicles, the frame underneath the driver's seat cushion may not have been tightened properly when the vehicle was built at the factory. Because the frame isn't properly tightened, the driver's seat can end up unsecured instead of being firmly fastened in place the way it should be. This means the seating system in these vehicles does not meet the federal safety standard that covers how seats must be secured.
Reported Oct 3, 2024 · Campaign 24V744000 · Model years: 2022, 2023, 2024
Honda says the steering gearbox in these vehicles may not have been manufactured correctly. This defect can create too much internal friction inside the gearbox assembly. That extra friction can make the steering feel harder to turn, so drivers may have more difficulty steering the vehicle than they should. Honda is recalling the vehicles to fix this steering gearbox problem so the issue is corrected properly.
