Honda is recalling nearly 100,000 additional vehicles in the United States because of an airbag-related safety issue, expanding a previous recall from 2024. According to reports filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the latest action affects an additional 98,892 units in Honda’s U.S. lineup.
This recall expansion follows an earlier campaign in which Honda recalled 750,114 vehicles in the United States and 66,846 in Canada. The newly identified affected vehicles are being added to that earlier recall after further review of the airbag problem.
The company has not yet provided a public breakdown of all models involved in the latest expansion in the information available here, but the issue is tied to a safety defect that could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Airbag recalls are treated as a serious matter because airbags are designed to deploy in emergencies and help protect occupants during collisions. When a defect is found, automakers typically work with safety regulators to identify the affected vehicles and arrange repairs for owners at no cost.
At the time of writing, Transport Canada has not confirmed whether Canadian vehicles will also be included in this expanded recall. However, the recall is expected to extend to Canada as well, given that the earlier 2024 campaign covered both U.S. and Canadian vehicles. That said, no official Canadian notice has been identified yet, and owners in Canada will need to wait for confirmation from Transport Canada or Honda.
For drivers in the United States, the latest recall means the total number of Honda vehicles tied to this airbag issue has grown significantly. Owners of vehicles covered by the recall may be notified directly by mail, email, or through Honda’s customer support channels once the repair process is ready. Vehicle owners can also check their vehicle identification number, or VIN, against official recall databases to see whether their car is affected.
Honda owners who receive a recall notice should arrange the repair as soon as possible. Even if a vehicle appears to be operating normally, a recall related to the airbag system should not be ignored because the problem may only become evident during a crash when the system is needed most.
This latest expansion adds to a large recall already affecting hundreds of thousands of Honda vehicles across North America. More details are expected as regulators and the automaker release additional information about the exact models involved, the scope of the defect, and the timeline for repairs. For now, the key development is that the U.S. recall has widened by nearly 99,000 more vehicles, with potential implications for Canadian owners still under review.
