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 98,892 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 92% of the 19,561 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers model years 2016 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 10 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 59 times before this, most recently in April 2026 as 26V227000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 86 of the 92 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 27,713 complaints with NHTSA, 23,845 of them before this campaign was filed. 862 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 2015, 10 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 46 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V721000 (steering), 26V423000 (back over prevention), 26V365000 (structure), 26V227000 (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 May 21, 2026 as campaign 26V332000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
