Honda Issues Recall On Over 300,000 Vehicles

Owners are urged to take the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for inspection and free pretensioner replacement if needed.

Honda has issued a recall on over 300,000 vehicles.

The recall was placed due to potentially defective seat belts. The front seat belt pretensioners were assembled without a rivet securing the quick connector and wire plate.

Pretensioners are devices that tighten seat belts to keep occupants in place when cars brake hard or crash. When not properly installed, the risk of injury is increased.

The recall covers 2023 and 2024 model-year Honda Accords and HR-Vs made between October 4th of 2022 and October 14th of this year.

No injuries or deaths related to the issue have been recorded. However, out of an abundance of caution, owners are urged to take the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for inspection and free pretensioner replacement if needed.
