What's wrong?
The driver's seat cushion frame is the metal structure under the seat padding. It supports the driver and connects the seat to the height adjuster links, which let the seat move up or down while keeping it locked in place.
On affected 2023-2024 Honda vehicles, including Accord, Civic, Pilot, Accord Hybrid, Integra, Hr-V, Integra Type S, and Civic Hatchback, bolts in the driver's seat height adjuster were not tightened correctly. Honda traced the problem to a software error in the robotic bolt fastener. The tool controller and robotic arm controller lost synchronization, so bolts that had already been tightened were loosened instead of staying at the correct torque.
When those bolts are loose or missing, the driver's seat is not fully secured to the frame. The warning sign is a driver's seat that rocks or wobbles during use.

What's the safety risk?
An unsecured driver's seat can fail to hold the driver properly during a crash, increasing injury risk. A rocking or wobbling seat is the warning sign; treat it as a reason to schedule service soon and limit driving until it is inspected. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Honda Accord, Civic, Pilot, Accord Hybrid, Hr-V, Integra, Integra Type S, or Civic Hatchback is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free driver's seat cushion frame replacement that secures the driver's seat.
- Bring the recall notice if Honda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V859 when you call.
- Use extra care until the repair is complete. An unsecured driver's seat does not restrain the driver as designed during a crash.
- Call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 with questions about the recall or dealer scheduling.
