SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Honda Accord, Accord Hybrid, Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Pilot, and 2024 HR-V, Acura Integra and Acura Integra Type S vehicles. The driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly, which can result in an unsecured seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems."
- What it can cause
- An unsecured driver's seat may not adequately restrain the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the driver's seat cushion frame, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 6, 2025. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 121 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the seats 9 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V229000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 11 of the 13 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,231 complaints with NHTSA, 528 of them before this campaign was filed. 22 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V366000 (tires), 26V054000 (seats), 25V785000 (electrical system), 25V391000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on November 14, 2024 as campaign 24V859000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
