Number potentially involved: 98,892

Estimated percentage of involved with defect: 1%

Defect / Noncompliance Description

*Describe the defect or noncompliance:
A capacitor in the printed circuit board of the front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and lead to an internal short circuit from the exposure to environmental humidity.

*Describe the safety risk:
In the event of a crash, the front passenger frontal and knee airbags may deploy despite the presence of an occupant (infant in child seat, child, or person smaller than AF5) for whom deployment should be suppressed, increasing the risk of injury.

Describe the cause:
The defect cause was due to a natural disaster at the manufacturing plant of a tier-2 supplier, the tier-1 supplier temporarily changed the base material in the printed circuit board of the seat weight sensor, which was not sufficiently verified for its intended use. The alternative base material could allow additional strain to the printed circuit board that can lead to a capacitor cracking and an internal short circuit.

Description of Remedy
Remedy Type:	Repair
Description of remedy program: Registered owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer. The dealer will replace the seat weight sensor with a non-defective part.
How remedy component differs from recalled component: The remedy components have printed circuit boards built with the original, verified base material.
Identify how/when the recall condition was corrected in production: The printed circuit board base material was changed back to the original, verified base material and included on seat weight sensors installed on vehicles on and after January 7, 2022. The supplier and Honda have improved their processes in production identification, validation and traceability.
Recall Schedule
Describe the recall schedule for notifications: Dealer notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 5/22/2026. Owner notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 7/6/2026.
