While driving, a warning message appeared on the dashboard stating: -??Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer.-?? The airbag warning light also illuminated. This indicates a malfunction within the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which controls airbag deployment and seatbelt pretensioners. At this time, it is UNKNOWN what specific component of the SRS failed or malfunctioned. and this issue first appeared 2 moths after purchase but its been coming on and half i don't know how serious this is. This malfunction places my safety and the safety of passengers at risk because the airbags or other restraint features may not function properly in the event of a collision. The problem has not yet been confirmed or repaired by a dealer, and no inspection by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives has been completed as of this report. The warning lamps and message appeared suddenly while driving, with no prior symptoms, noises, or performance issues. Vehicle remains available for inspection if requested.

I own a 2018 Honda Accord EX-?'L (VIN#: [XXX]). Shortly after a service visit to a Honda dealer for unrelated maintenance (in Sep. 2024 with an estimated 50,000 miles), the dashboard began showing -??Supplemental Restraint System Problem -?" See Dealer-??. A dealer quoted $400+ to diagnose and replace what appears to be a common passenger airbag indicator sensor failure, a known issue reported by many 2018 Accord owners. I believe Honda should issue a recall due to the safety risk. I-??m filing this as a VOQ complaint for ODI-??s review and authorize NHTSA to share my identifying info with Honda if needed. Supporting Documentation and numerous examples of complaints from hundreds of Honda Accord owners relating to this problem: - Numerous drivers of 2018 Honda Accords have reported the identical warning (-??Supplemental Restraint System Problem -?" See Dealer-??) along with fault code B002013, intermittent dashboard behavior, and inability of dealers to resolve it consistently. - Honda-??s 2024 Campaign 24-?'050 identifies the seat weight sensor as directly causing SRS warnings and passenger airbag indicator failure - demonstrating this component is known to fail and trigger airbag system alert behavior, even if not yet applied to 2018 model year. - Independent coverage confirms the risk and design defect in seat sensors causing unintended SRS failures, underscoring the safety risk and Honda-??s formal acknowledgment of the issue in later models. - Multiple complaints about post-?'service warning lights that match this scenario (electrical system category), and public news coverage stating Honda is recalling vehicles due to faulty passenger seat sensors that may cause airbag or SRS failures. - 37 official complaints for the 2018 Accord, with no repair by dealer and failure left unresolved. One report (May 12, 2025) describes this exact issue saying the dashboard message randomly popped up and a "dealer wanted $250 diagnostic and $4,000 to repair. - My service quote attached.

07/30/25 - Over the course of 1 week, I have received three dashboard warnings "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" It goes away once car turns off. Honda of Katy states to bring in when alert still on dashboard (which will disappear when car turned off) but quoted will be required to sign a $215 diagnostic fee. No charge if it is just an error code. But $215 can be used toward repair. This is a SAFETY ISSUE and should be a SAFETY RECALL as owners should not need to pay for manufacturer DEFECTS. I can not afford to fix since still paying off the known issue of fuel injectors failing but not yet SAFETY RECALLED. Please help.

- Lacey, WA, USA

My 2018 accord sport started randomly started popping up a -??supplemental restraint system problem-?? on my dashboard. It-??s turns on and goes away randomly. I went to my local Honda dealer and I asked them about it and they had to preform a diagnostic for $250. Our Honda dealer wants to charge $4000 to repair it. I wrote to American Honda and submitted a support ticket, they asked for a new Diagnostic and charged us another $250. They called me back yesterday saying that they wont pay for the repairs unless there is a recall. How many people need to have the same issue to initiate a recall? There are a lot of complaints online for this same thing. It is airbag safety related.

About two months ago, SRS/Supplmental Restrain light came on. It has been coming on/off. Took to the dealership to check; however at that time the light was off-they did not find anything wrong. ON 9/5/24, the light came on again, took to the dealership same day. They diagnosed as code B0020-13. Stated there is an "open or increased resistance in the left side airbag inflator. Installed SRS harness tester and found code to go away with SRS harness tool installed. As first step in diagnosis, recommend to replace left side airbag inflator and recheck. "

I keep intermittently getting a Supplemental Restraint System error. I have been on forums with other vehicle owners getting the same error. The dealer says it is a bad airbag while others are saying it could be two other less expensive remedies they have encountered such as a faulty cutoff indicator that gets overheated and the solders come loose as well as a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly. This is not a constant issue, it is intermittent and feel if the airbag was faulty it would be a constant error.

On 01/27/2024 I went to Mungenast Saint Louis Honda because my SRS airbag lights keep coming on for passenger seat, I paid $89 for a diagnosis fee and found out that I was told there is a sensor malfunction that is causing this. I was told that if that light is in the airbags will not deploy during an accident. I asked them to replace this part for free, they refused stated vehicle out of warranty even though it-??s a huge safety hazard and can cause a fatality if the airbags don-??t deploy, advisor at dealer said not to drive the vehicle until this gets repaired. I feel it-??s unfair Honda will not repair this for free with it being a safety issue.

My vehicle I of several people I know suddenly appears on the screen the symbol of the seat belt I the airbags turn off I took it to the dealer I they told me that it doesn't have it. Nothing keeps appearing and Honda is not responsible for something that can take lives in an accident either

"Supplemental restraint system failure" warning is intermittently illuminated in the dashboard. It comes on when the car is in drive, moving down the road, and when the car is in park. Warning goes on and off randomly. Dealership couldn't tell me what the problem was. Just suggested I replace the (very expensive) module to see if that works. On 4 different occasions the emergency brake system has gone off and the car has slammed on it's breaks while driving 50-55mph down the road with no object/ vehicle in front of it. Thankfully no one has been behind me when this has happened because I would definitely have been rear-ended if they were.

- Plano, TX, USA

Supplemental restraint system error appears on dash unit, at first intermittently and now at all times. I am wondering if this could be related to a recall on seatbelts which apparently does not apply to my VIN but does to other 2018 Honda Accords.

The 2 airbags on the driver and passenger side exploded around 7 AM 7-14-23 driving South on San Andreas causing the car to drive into a Street pole and dislodge the right front wheel and cause likely irreperable damge to my 2018 Honda Accord. I was shaken up aandmy right arm has burn marks from the airbags imploding The car was not driveable and towed to ABX Collsion in San Diego. I am going to contact Honda shortly as this incident is causing a lot of financial and mental distress.

I had a recall on my seatbelt and after I did the recall now my airbag resistant light is coming on and I don-??t think they-??re going to look at it without charging me when it never came on until they done the seatbelt so I-??m not sure if I got a defective part and they need to replace it or what but I don-??t think I should have to pay for it since it was just fine till they done the recall
