DETROIT – Honda is recalling a fifty percent-million automobiles in the U.S. and Canada mainly because the entrance seat belts may possibly not latch thoroughly.
The remember handles some of the automaker’s leading-marketing versions which includes the 2017 through 2020 CR-V, the 2018 and 2019 Accord, the 2018 via 2020 Odyssey and the 2019 Insight. Also bundled is the Acura RDX from the 2019 and 2020 model many years.
Honda claims in documents posted Wednesday by U.S. protection regulators that the surface coating on the channel for the buckle can deteriorate around time. The release button can shrink against the channel at decreased temperatures, expanding friction and halting the buckle from latching.
If the buckle would not latch, a driver or passenger may well not be restrained in a crash, raising the hazard of damage.
Honda says it has no studies of accidents brought about by the difficulty.
Dealers will exchange the front seat belt buckle launch buttons or the buckle assemblies if desired. Entrepreneurs will be notified by letter beginning April 17.
