notified NHTSA of a STOP SALE and safety recall for certain model year 2020 and 2022 MDX, 2020–2022 RDX, and 2020–2021 TLX vehicles that may have damage to the seat weight sensor in the front passenger seat.

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 SRS warning light and the passenger airbag indicator remaining OFF.
If this temporary placeholder bulletin appears during an iN VIN status inquiry, the vehicle is subject to a safety recall. Any affected vehicles in your dealer inventory are on STOP SALE until further notice. Refrain from calling Tech Line for updates.
The following suggested text should be included on any repair order for an already sold affected vehicle that comes in for service. This information should be printed out completely any time service is conducted on an affected vehicle, and the recall repair has not yet been completed. Once parts and repair information are available, the normal procedures under Dealer Operations Manual (DOM) 7.2.1 will apply for this recall.
Suggested verbiage to be included on the repair order: Client advised that:
The vehicle may be subject to a recall affecting the front passenger seat weight sensors. The parts necessary to complete the recall repair are not yet available. Once parts are available, the registered owner of the vehicle will receive a notice to bring the vehicle in for replacement of the components.
Please be advised that clients will still be able to register their vehicles with their respective Department of Motor Vehicles at this time.
For any questions or concerns clients may have, you may have them contact American Honda’s Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
