2018 Honda Accord air bags problems

“The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "SRS Fault" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the passenger’s seat occupant detection sensor had failed and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the mechanic retrieved a seat belt fault code. No further information was available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V332000 (AIR BAGS) nor 23V158000 (SEAT BELT). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 72,000.”

“Side airbag not working properly ("SRS problem" intermittently showing up on dashboard): DTC checked and found B0020-13: Open or increased resistance in the left side airbag inflator. No accident on this side of the vehicle has occurred to my knowledge. A few months ago back in March my car was impacted on the right rear tire/quarter panel (repaired at caliber collision). That's the only known accident. The SRS notification first appeared 2 weeks ago and then it turned off. It appeared again yesterday 9/14/2026.”

“Starting in the middle of July my 2018 Accord began showing a "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer." message. Upon dealer(Ed Martin Honda) inspection it was found that the passenger seat airbag sensor was faulty and needed replaced. Upon checking I found that there is a recall for the faulty sensor but my VIN is not included. I urge further inspection as this appears to be a more wide spread issue than Honda is reporting.”

“The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated, and the message "SRS Fault - See Dealer" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that rodent had eaten through the wiring and that the wiring insulation was soy-based, and the air bag cable and the harness cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.”

“On June 24th, 2026, I received a warning for "Supplemental Restraint System Problem". The airbag Dash indicator illuminated on the dash. The issue is intermittent and the warning has appeared on five separate occasions since. The message had went away when the vehicle has been turned off and has not appear every time the car is running. It does appear mid-travel on occasion. The issue is consistent with the passenger airbag sensor failure description recall that is associated with other VIN Numbers for the 2028 Accord but my VIN is not listed in the recall.”

“My son had an accident where he re-ended another car that caused damage to the front of his car. The AirBags did not deploy in his car; and I beleive they should have with the amount of damage that the car sustained.”
