Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the owner's manual incorrectly describes when the “passenger airbag off” light should turn on. The manual states that if the front passenger seat is empty the indicator light will not turn on. It should instead state that if the seat is empty, the indicator light will turn on. This could cause a user to misunderstand how the passenger airbag system should work.
Safety Risk:
A user that does not understand how the airbag system operates may be at an increased risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Honda will mail a sticker to all current owners that has the correct description for the “passenger airbag off” indicator light. They will also provide the owner with instructions on where to place it in the owner's manual. Owners who would like help installing the label can contact a Honda dealer.
