Description of the Defect : 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. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-064 Page 6 FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of 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.
Description of the Cause : 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. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : The SRS warning light may be illuminated and the passenger airbag indicator may remain off.

Description of the Defect : 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. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-064 Page 6 FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of 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.
Description of the Cause : 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. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : The SRS warning light may be illuminated and the passenger airbag indicator may remain off.

Affected vehicles may be equipped with seat weight sensors not built to proper specifications. Improperly built sensors
could lead to cracking and/or a short circuit of the sensor resulting in the illumination of the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) warning light and the passenger airbag indicator remaining OFF. In certain collisions, these seat weight
sensors may cause improper deployment of the front passenger airbag, increasing the risk of injury. At risk passengers
are babies/infants in car seats, children using booster seats, children under the age of 13, and very small statured
adults. Consistent with recommendations from NHTSA and in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual, these passengers should
not sit in the front passenger seat.
REMEDY
Honda is currently preparing the necessary parts to repair your vehicle. When parts become available, Honda will send
you a follow-up letter and repair your vehicle, FREE OF CHARGE.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Honda expects to begin initial customer notification in mid-March 2024.
