Honda is recalling 303,770 2023-2024 Accord and Hr-V vehicles because the front seat belt pretensioners can be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate. Without that rivet, the pretensioner will not properly restrain the occupant in a crash, and Honda dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The front seat belt pretensioner in the 2023-2024 Honda Accord and Hr-V is part of the front seat belt system. In a crash, the pretensioner pulls slack out of the belt so the belt can hold the occupant in the intended position. The quick connector and wire plate help keep that assembly secured and connected.
On affected vehicles, the pretensioner assembly left production without the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate. Honda traced the problem to assembly, where the rivet installation step was skipped. Without that rivet, the connector and plate are not secured the way the design requires, so the front seat belt pretensioner does not meet the occupant protection and seat belt anchorage standards listed in recall 23V782.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can look normal in daily use because the missing rivet is inside the pretensioner assembly, so a VIN check and dealer inspection decide whether the recalled part is on your vehicle.
