"Massive Honda and Acura Recall for Airbag Defect: 750,000 Vehicles Affected"

Honda is recalling over 750,000 vehicles, including models from 2020 to 2022, due to a defect that may cause air bags to deploy when they shouldn't. The issue stems from a cracked capacitor in the front passenger seat weight sensor's printed circuit board, which could lead to injuries for occupants, especially children and infants. Affected owners will be notified and can have the faulty part replaced at Honda and Acura dealers. This recall adds to a series of recent automotive recalls, including Toyota's warning of 50,000 vehicles with faulty air bag inflators and BMW's recall related to the massive Takata air bag recall.

"Massive Honda Recall: 750K Vehicles Recalled for Airbag Defect"

Honda is recalling 750,000 vehicles from the 2020-2022 model years in the U.S. to address a defect that could cause air bags to deploy unintentionally during a crash. The issue stems from a crack and short circuit in the front passenger seat’s weight sensor, which fails to suppress the air bag as intended. The affected models include certain Honda Pilot, Accord, Civic, HR-V, CR-V, and Passport vehicles. This recall follows a previous recall for Honda HR-V's rear windows shattering in cold weather and a separate recall for a fuel pump issue in several Honda and Acura models.

Toyota Recalls 1 Million Vehicles in US Over Airbag Issue

Toyota is recalling approximately 1 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the U.S. due to a potential defect in the front passenger air bag system. The Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensors may cause a short circuit, resulting in the air bag system failing to properly detect the passenger's presence and weight. Affected owners will have their vehicles inspected and the OCS sensors replaced if necessary at no cost. This is the third major recall for Toyota in recent months.
