Drivers can provide their vehicle identification number (VIN) to Honda or the NHTSA, or call the Honda customer service recall line at 888-234-2138 to find out if their car was recalled.
Notifications about the recall will be mailed by March 18. Meanwhile, owners may contact Honda customer service at 888-234-2138 with additional questions. Honda’s numbers for these recalls are XHP and VHQ.
Dealers will replace the weight sensors free of charge.
In November 2023 over 300,000 Hondas were recalled over faulty seat belts, and in December over 2.5 million Honda and Acura vehicles were recalled over an issue with their fuel pumps.
