What's wrong, in plain English

Honda is recalling certain 2020 through 2022 Honda and Acura vehicles, including Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, Fit, Insight and the Acura MDX, RDX and TLX.

2. Contact a Honda or Acura dealer to have the seat weight sensors replaced, or call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda says this is a phased recall.
3. The replacement is free of charge.
