The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 750,114 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 17,460 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 476. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 57 times before this, most recently in January 2020 as 20V027000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 35 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 6,906 complaints with NHTSA, 2,485 of them before this campaign was filed. 362 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2019, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 41 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V721000 (steering), 26V423000 (back over prevention), 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on February 1, 2024 as campaign 24V064000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
