What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible consequence

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.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring subharness. The recall will begin on or about february 8, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
