Dealers will replace the sensors free of charge as a remedy.Honda Motor is recalling 98,892 vehicles in the United States over a defect involving unintentional deployment of air bags, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.
The recall includes certain Honda Acura TLX, Accord Hybrid, and 2022 Accord vehicles, the auto regulator said.
The regulator said the issue arises from a front passenger seat weight sensor that may crack and short circuit.
Due to the issue, airbags may unintentionally deploy despite the presence of occupants like an infant in child seat or a child, for whom deployment should have been suppressed.
As a part of the remedy, dealers will replace the seat weight sensors at no cost, NHTSA said.
