2 recalls covering model years 2018. 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.
The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and sends fuel to the engine. On these vehicles that pump can fail. When it does, the engine can stall while you are driving — losing power in traffic or on the highway raises the chance of a crash. A dealer will replace the entire fuel pump unit for free. This recall is an expansion of two earlier Honda fuel pump recalls covering additional vehicles.
