2017–2020 Acura RDX, Honda Accord, Honda Accord Hybrid +more: Seat Belts recall
NHTSA campaign 23V158000 · 449K units potentially affected · filed Mar 9, 2023
What's wrong
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017-2020 CR-V, 2018-2019 Accord and Accord Hybrid, 2018-2020 Odyssey, 2019 Insight, and 2019-2020 Acura RDX vehicles. A manufacturing issue with the front seat belts may cause the seat belt buckle channel to interfere with the release button, preventing the seat belt buckle from latching.
Why it matters
An unlatched seat belt cannot properly restrain the seat occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the driver and front passenger seat belt buckle release buttons or the buckle assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 18, 2023. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are NDA, QDB, BDC, MDD, LD9. TDF, FDG, ODH, YDI, ZDE.
