Honda is recalling 98,892 2016-2026 vehicles, including the Accord, Civic, Odyssey, and Mdx, because the front passenger seat weight sensor can crack and short circuit. That fault can make the air bags deploy unintentionally during a crash, which raises injury risk, and Honda dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?

The front passenger seat weight sensor in these 2016-2026 Honda vehicles is part of the occupant classification system. It reads weight on the passenger seat and sends that information to the SRS air bag system, so the vehicle knows how to manage the passenger air bag during a crash.

The problem is inside the sensor's printed circuit board, the flat electrical board that carries signals through the sensor. A changed base material in that board puts extra strain on a capacitor, a small electrical part that helps control the circuit. Exposure to humidity can make the capacitor crack and short internally, which can confuse the air bag system and lead to unintended air bag deployment during a crash.

Owners can see the SRS warning light turn on. The passenger airbag indicator can also stay off when the system is not reading the seat correctly.

What's the safety risk?

Unintended air bag deployment during a crash increases injury risk. If the SRS warning light is on or the passenger airbag indicator stays off, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer whether to keep driving until your appointment. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.

  2. Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free seat weight sensor replacement that fixes the front passenger sensor crack and short circuit.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Honda has mailed one, or reference recall number 26V332 when you call.

  5. Use extra caution with the front passenger seat until the repair is complete, since the air bags can deploy unintentionally during a crash.
