What this recall means for you

A seat that is not latched correctly can tip forward unexpectedly when the vehicle brakes, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.

Owners will be notified by mail. Authorized Honda dealers will install a bracket to the second-row outboard floor strikers at no cost. You can also call American Honda Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 for help.
