Honda recalls 336K CR-Vs for incorrect air bag information

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling 336,468 CR-Vs from the 2019 model year.

The owner's guide incorrectly describes when the "Passenger Airbag Off" indicator should illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

If the front passenger does not correctly understand how the airbag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

Honda will notify owners and provide a sticker with the correct information to be added to the owner's guide, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin November 15, 2019. Owner's may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is X6G.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
