Seat Position Sensor: Recalls
Recall 07V001000: Seat Position Sensor Wire Harness
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Honda/Accord 2004-2005
MANUFACTURER: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V001000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: January 02, 2007
COMPONENT: Air Bags: Frontal: Sensor/Control Module
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 81000
SUMMARY:
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.
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.
