    Honda has recalled over three-quarters of a million U.S. vehicles due to a faulty airbag sensor, ABC News reports.

    Included in the recall are 2020-2022 model year Honda Pilots, Accords, Civic sedans, HR-Vs, and Odysseys, as well as the 2020 Fit and Civic Coupe; 2021 and 2022 Civic hatchback; 2021 Civic Type R and Insight; and the 2020-2021 CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Passport, Ridgeline, and Accord Hybrid.

    Also covered by the recall are Acura vehicles: the 2020 and 2022 MDX, 2020 and 2022 RDX, and 2020-2021 TLX.

    According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem lies with the front passenger seat weight sensor cracking and short-circuting, causing the airbag to not be deactivated when necessary. Honda has received 3,834 warranty claims, but no reports of injury or death.

    Owners of affected vehicles will begin to be notified on March 18.
