Honda and Acura front passenger airbags may deploy unintentionally

NHTSA campaign 26V332000 · Reported 2026-05-21 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

high How serious is it? About this label

Airbags that go off unintentionally during a crash increase the risk of injury. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Check whether your vehicle is included by entering your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact your dealer or Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 to schedule the sensor replacement.
3. The repair is free of charge.
