- Summary
- On certain 2-door passenger vehicles, the front passenger occupant detection system (ods) contains a faulty electronic component.

- Consequence
- In certain circumstances, a deploying front passenger air bag can increase the risk of injury to an infant or small child.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the ods unit, free of charge. The recall began on January 16, 2006. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Has your Honda been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
