NHTSA recall 19V784000
Structure · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: The front frame left and right side upper members may not have been welded completely to the unibody. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) numbers 208, "occupant crash protection" and 219, "windshield zone intrusion."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, incomplete body welding may provide inadequate protection to occupants, increasing the risk of an injury.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle for missing welds, free of charge. If the vehicle is identified as missing welds, the dealer will offer to repurchase the vehicle or provide a similar replacement vehicle. Owner notification began November 6 2019.
