"Missing Piece in Seat Belt Pretensioners Prompts Honda to Recall Select Accords and HR-Vs"

Honda is recalling select 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 issue, caused by an assembly error, may result in passengers not being properly restrained. Over 300,000 vehicles are potentially affected, but no injuries or deaths have been reported. Honda will inspect and potentially replace the seat belt pretensioner assembly at no cost, with reimbursement options available for those who have already paid for repairs. Notification letters will be sent to registered owners starting January 8, 2024.
