The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated last week that the the pretensioners, which are used to tighten seat belts when an impact takes place could be missing a rivet that is used to secure the quick connector and wire plate.

Honda issued a statement saying that seven seatbelts were reported to have an issue but no injuries were reported due to the missing pieces.

If your vehicle is part of the recall, you will be advised to take your vehicle to the nearest Honda dealer. They will do an inspection of your seatbelt assembly and if a repair or replacement is needed, it will be done at no charge to the customer.
