What this recall means for you
A weld on the front passenger seat back frame may not have been done properly. If the weld is weak, the seat back can fail to hold its position during a crash, so it may not adequately restrain the passenger and injury risk increases. The vehicles also do not meet federal seating and occupant protection safety standards.
Authorized Honda dealers will replace the front passenger seat back frame assembly at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed March 27, 2023. If you have questions, you can contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 and reference recall number 6PK. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
