Honda recalling more than 750,000 vehicles in the U.S.

Fix needed for faulty air bag sensor in some 2020-2022 models.

DETROIT — Honda is recal ing more than three quarters of a million vehicles in the U.S. because a faulty sensor may

se the front passenger air bags to inflate when they’re not supposed to.

The recall covers certain Honda Pilot, Accord, Civic sedan, HR-V and Odyssey models from the 2020 through 2022 model years, as well as the 2020 Fit and Civic Coupe. Also included are the 2021 and 2022 Civic hatchback, the 2021 Civic Type R and Insight, and the 2020 and 2021 CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Passport, Ridgeline and Accord Hybrid.

Affected models from the Acura luxury brand include the 2020 and 2022 MDX, the 2020 through 2022 RDX and the 2020 and 2021 TLX.

Documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National High- way Traffic Safety Admi istration say that the front passen- ger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, and fail to turn off the air bag as intended.

The sensors are required to disable the air bags if chil- dren or small adults are in the seats. If that doesn’t happen, it increases the risk of injury.

Dealers wi l replace the seat sensors at no cost to owners. Owners wi l be notified starting March 18.

Honda says in documents that it has 3,834 warranty

claimsbut no reports of injuries or deaths from the problem between June 30, 2020 and Jan. 19 of this year.
