What is going on with Honda? Seems like once a month for the last several months, I’m hearing about a new recall with their cars. Or am I just seeing the same news being reported over and over?
I like Honda, I have a newish Honda, and it’s my second or third. “Luckily” only one of these recent recalls applies to my car. But damn, seems like quality is slipping.
If you’re curious if a recall applies to your vehicles, and you’re in the US, visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. Just need a VIN and it’ll tell you what recalls are in effect.
Technically, it’s for faulty seat sensors that determine if the airbag will trigger.
Honda says that a weight sensor, which is meant to disable the passenger airbags if the seat is occupied by a child or child seat, might not work properly, allowing the airbags to deploy during a crash.
