Honda Recalling 500,000 Vehicles Over Seat Belts

U.S.A – Half a million Honda vehicles are being recalled in the United States and Canada for faulty seat belts.

The recall covers some of the the automaker’s top-selling models including the 2017 through 2020 CR-V, the 2018 and 2019 Accord, the 2018 through 2020 Odyssey and the 2019 Insight.

Also included is the Acura RDX from the 2019 and 2020 model years.

U.S. safety regulators say the surface coating on the channel for the buckle can deteriorate over time, while the release button can shrink at lower temperatures, stopping the buckle from latching.

Honda says it has no reports of injuries caused by the problem.

Honda says dealers will replace the front seat belt buckle release buttons or the buckle assemblies if needed and that owners will be notified by letter starting April 17.
