The problem
On certain vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia , wisconsin and the district of columbia. The wire harness for the occupant detection system (ods) and the occupant position detection system (opds) is routed underneath the carpet on the driver's side floorboard. In areas where road salt is used, salt from the snow on the driver's shoes will melt and May penetrate the carpet and leak into the wire harness. If the harness is exposed to salt brine, corrosion May occur and the wire May break causing the SRS indicator light to illuminate. A failure of the ods and opds May not detect the presence of a child seat or an out-of-position passenger and deployment of both the front seat passenger's frontal and side air bags will not be suppressed.
The risk
In the event of a crash, a deploying front passenger air bag or front passenger's side air bag will increase the risk of injury to small or out-of-position occupants.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the wire harness. The recall began on December 12, 2007. Owners May contact Honda at 800-999-1009.
