On February 16, 2023, American Honda notified NHTSA of a stop sale and safety recall for 98model year 2023 CR-V units due to improper manufacturing of the front

the seat in position during a collision preventing the occupant from being properly restrained.
REPAIR
Replace the front passenger seat-back frame.
PARTS
Parts are available through the normal parts ordering system.
TOOLS
There are no special tools needed for this recall.
