## What is wrong

Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 Ridgeline vehicles manufactured on April 18, 2012.  An incorrect passenger airbag status indicator may have been installed on the vehicles causing them to fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

Without the proper passenger airbag indicator, the driver and other vehicle occupants may not be informed or aware that the front passenger airbag is off and will not deploy in a crash, thereby potentially increasing the risk of injury to a front passenger seat occupant that may have chosen to sit or been seated elsewhere in the vehicle if the correct indicator had been given.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger airbag indicator free of charge.  The safety recall began on September 21, 2012.  Owners may contact Honda Automobile Customer services at 1\-800\-999\-1009.
