Honda is recalling nearly 100,000 vehicles due to airbag complications, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The safety regulator has flagged a defect that could trigger the unintentional deployment of airbags.

Honda said the defect is in the front passenger seat’s weight sensor. A capacitor inside the sensor’s printed circuit board can crack after exposure to humidity and could lead to a short circuit, the recall notice said.

“In the event of a crash, the front passenger frontal and knee airbags may deploy” even if the occupant is an infant in a child seat, a child or a person below a certain size limit “for whom deployment should be suppressed, increasing the risk of injury,” Honda said.

Most of the models affected include the Accord Hybrid, the Honda Acura TLX and specific 2022 Accord vehicles:

2016-2022 Honda Civic
2016-2022 Honda Accord
2017-2022 Honda Accord Hybrid

Honda has received 228 warranty claims as of May 14, the recall notice said. The company also said it has no reports of injuries or deaths related to this issue in the U.S. between Feb. 4, 2021, and Oct. 30, 2025.

Honda said registered owners will be contacted by mail and instructed to take their vehicles to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer, where the seat weight sensor will be replaced with a nondefective part.

Owners are expected to receive notification letters beginning July 6 and can reach Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138, along with Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238.
