Honda recalls nearly 99,000 US vehicles over airbag issues

May 29 (Reuters) - ‌Honda Motor ​is ​recalling 98,892 vehicles in the United States ‌over a defect involving unintentional ⁠deployment of air bags, the U.S. ‌National Highway Traffic ‌Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.

Here are a few more details:

• The ​recall includes certain Honda Acura TLX, Accord Hybrid, and ⁠2022 Accord vehicles, the auto regulator said.

• ​The regulator said the issue arises from a front ​passenger seat weight ‌sensor that may crack and short circuit.

• Due ⁠to the issue, airbags may unintentionally deploy despite the presence ⁠of occupants like an infant in child ​seat or a child, for whom deployment should have been suppressed.

• As ‌a part of the remedy, dealers will replace ‌the seat weight sensors ⁠at no ‌cost, NHTSA said.
