Re: Stop Sale/Safety Recall: 2023-24M Accord, HR-V Front Seat Belt Pretensioner Inspection
On November 21, 2023, American Honda notified NHTSA of a stop sale and safety recall for certain model year 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles due to improper
manufacturing of the front seat belt pretensioner, which may not restrain the occupant properly in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of injury. Refer to your
eResponsibility report or perform an iN VIN status inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected.
Failure to repair a vehicle as necessary prior to sale or before returning the vehicle to a customer may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits.
BACKGROUND
During seat belt manufacturing, some front seat belt pretensioners may have been assembled without a rivet securing the quick connector and wire plate, resulting in front
seat belts not functioning as designed.
REPAIR
Inspect and, if necessary, replace the seat belt pretensioner.
TOOLS AND PARTS
Inspection tools currently are estimated to be delivered to dealers in late November 2023. Parts are also estimated to be available at that time through the normal controlled
ordering process. We will notify you via iN message when they become available.

SUMMARY
On November 21, 2023, American Honda notified NHTSA of a stop sale and safety recall for certain model year 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles. During seat belt
manufacturing, some front seat belt pretensioners may have been assembled without a rivet securing the quick connector and wire plate. As a result, front seat belts may
not function as designed and restrain the occupant properly in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of injury. Refer to your eResponsibility report or perform an
iN VIN status inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected.
Failure to repair a vehicle as necessary prior to sale or before returning the vehicle to a customer may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits.
As always, perform an iN VIN status inquiry for all vehicles passing through your dealership to determine eligibility for any open campaigns.
