NHTSA recall 07V001000
Air Bags · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: On certain vehicles, the seat position sensor (sps) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the air bag inflation pressure accordingly. The wiring harness for the sps was attached to the seat frame in the wrong location and may have been over tightened. The sensor wire may break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated, and the sps to fail.
Why it matters: A failure of the sps causes the air bag system to default to full inflation pressure, regardless of the seat position. Full deployment of the driver's air bag can increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring subharness. The recall will begin on or about February 8, 2007.
