Honda is recalling 336,468 2019 Cr-V vehicles because the owner's guide incorrectly explains when the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator should illuminate. The wrong instruction can leave a front passenger misunderstanding how the airbag works in a crash, and the dealer remedy will be free once Honda makes it available.

What's wrong?
The "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator in the 2019 Honda Cr-V tells occupants when the front passenger airbag is turned off. That light matters because the passenger airbag system changes status based on the seat occupant and the system's occupant sensing logic. The owner's guide is supposed to describe that light accurately so drivers understand what the indicator means.
In recall 19V694, the problem is the owner's guide, not a broken switch or warning lamp. Honda says the guide incorrectly describes when the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator illuminates. That creates a compliance problem because the owner's information does not match the required explanation for occupant crash protection.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is printed information in the owner's guide, so an owner will not hear a noise, feel a change, or see a separate warning light that points to the manual error.

What's the safety risk?
In a crash, an incorrectly explained front passenger airbag can leave the passenger at increased risk of personal injury because they do not understand how the airbag functions. Review the corrected owner's guide sticker when Honda provides it, and make sure passengers follow the updated airbag instructions. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Honda Cr-V is included in this recall.
- Watch for Honda's owner notice if you have not received it; the owner letter was mailed on November 14, 2019.
- Call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 and reference recall number 19V694 (Honda recall X6G) if you need the correct passenger-airbag indicator sticker.
- Add the free sticker to the owner's guide so the Passenger Airbag Off indicator instructions are correct.
- Review the corrected owner's guide language before carrying a front passenger.
What happens at the repair
Honda's remedy is a corrected owner's guide sticker that explains when the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator should illuminate. Once the remedy is available through Honda, a Honda service advisor adds the sticker to the owner's guide or provides it for installation, free of charge. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Honda has a general reimbursement plan on file, so if you already paid for a directly related correction before the owner notice, bring documentation and ask Honda customer service about reimbursement under that plan.
