3 recalls covering model years 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
A sensor under the front passenger seat measures the weight of whoever is sitting there so the car knows how to use the airbags. That sensor can crack and short out. If it does, the airbags can go off in an unintended way during a crash, which can hurt the people inside. This recall covers a long list of Honda and Acura models and expands an earlier recall. Dealers will put in new seat weight sensors.
On certain Honda Accord, Accord Hybrid, Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Pilot and HR-V vehicles and Acura Integra models, the driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly when the car was built. That can leave the driver's seat not firmly secured to the floor. These vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for seating systems. Dealers will replace the driver's seat cushion frame at no cost to the owner.
The steering gearbox — the part that turns your steering wheel motion into the wheels turning — may have been built wrong on these Honda and Acura models. Parts inside can rub too hard against each other, which can make the vehicle difficult to steer. Difficulty steering raises the chance of a crash. The dealer will replace a spring inside the gear and add or move grease around as needed, all free of charge.
