Details

What's wrong: The case for the battery sensor, part of the battery management system, may allow water to get in, potentially causing an electrical short.

Why it matters: An electrical short increases the risk of a fire.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor, free of charge. Dealers will perform an interim remedy of applying adhesive to the case to prevent water intrusion. The recall began November 8, 2017.
