NEW YORK—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.
According to notices published by Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) earlier this week, the pretensioners—which tighten seat belts in place upon impact—may be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate. This means that passengers may not be properly restrained in a crash, regulators said.
