NHTSA Campaign #07V001000 AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
81,000 vehicles recalled
2004 HONDA ACCORD -- On certain vehicles, the seat position sensor (sps) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the air bag inflation pressure accordingly.

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. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #07V001000 »
