Overview

• Honda is recalling more than 300,000 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles due to a missing piece in the front seat belt pretensioners, which could increase injury risks during a crash.
• The missing rivet in the seat belt pretensioners, which tighten seat belts in place upon impact, means that passengers may not be properly restrained in a crash.
• The issue was credited to an error made during assembly.
• As of Nov. 16, Honda had received seven warranty claims, but no reports of injuries or deaths related to the faulty pretensioners.
• Notification letters will be sent via mail to registered owners of the affected vehicles starting Jan. 8, 2024.
