Honda recalls 500,000 vehicles for seat belt issue.
Honda is recalling nearly 500,000 vehicles, including some of its most popular models such as the CR-V and Accord, due to possible issues with the driver and front-passenger seat belts not latching correctly. The company estimates that one percent of those recalled have the seat belt defect. Honda received more than 300 warranty claims related to the issue between March 22, 2019 and Jan. 16, 2023, but there were no reports of injuries or deaths because of the seat belt problem as of early March, according to the company. Owners affected by the seat belt issues should expect to be contacted by Honda by mail on April 17 for a free seat belt buckle assembly replacement at an authorized dealer.
