7 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020. 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.
Because of a design problem in the audio display's power circuit, the backup camera image may not come up at all when you start the car with a key. With no picture on the screen, it is easier to miss a person, pet, or object behind you while reversing. A dealer will reprogram the display audio unit for free. Important: if your vehicle was already repaired under the earlier recall 23V-046, it still needs this new repair.
There is a sensor in the front passenger seat that senses the weight of whoever is sitting there. It tells the vehicle whether to turn the passenger airbag off — for example when the seat is empty or a small person is in it. On these vehicles the sensor can crack and short out, so the airbag may not switch off when it should. It could then go off in a crash when it was supposed to stay shut. Dealers replace the sensor free.
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.
When you start the engine using a key, the backup camera picture may fail to show up on the dashboard screen. It is a design mistake in the circuit that powers the audio and display unit. Without that picture you cannot see what is directly behind you while reversing, which is why these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. Dealers reload the display unit's software for free, and it does not take long.
The pump that pushes gasoline out of the fuel tank toward the engine sits inside the tank, and on these Honda and Acura vehicles it can stop working. When it fails, the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving, and that can happen at any speed. Your dealer will replace the whole fuel pump assembly at no cost to you. This recall is a larger version of an earlier Honda recall, 20V-314.
The low-pressure fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and pushes fuel toward the engine. On these Honda and Acura vehicles, that pump can quit working. If it does, the engine can stall — shut off — while you are driving, which can leave you stopped in traffic or unable to keep up with the cars around you. Dealers replace the entire fuel pump assembly at no charge, and this repair has been available since July 2020.
