Honda recalls more than 300,000 Accords and HR-Vs over missing seat belt piece

Honda is recalling several hundred thousand 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 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.
The NHSTA credited the issue to an error made during assembly. More than 300,000 Accords and HR-Vs are potentially affected.
