NHTSA recall 18V221000
Seats · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: The front driver and passenger powered seats in the Honda vehicles and the driver powered seats in the Acura vehicles may have been assembled with improperly manufactured rivets. In the event of a crash, the rivets can break causing the seats not to be secured to the floor. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems,"…
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, if the seat does not remain secured to the floor, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat frame assembly in Acura mdx vehicles, and replace the driver and front passenger seat slide rail frames in Honda pilot and ridgeline vehicles, free of charge. The recall began May 30, 2018.
