What's wrong?
The driver's seat cushion frame in the 2023-2024 Honda Accord Hybrid, Integra, Accord, Hr-V, and Pilot is the metal support under the seat cushion. It holds the seat in position and connects to the seat height adjuster links, the hardware that lets the driver set seat height while keeping the seat anchored to the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, critical fasteners for the seat height adjuster links were not tightened to Honda's torque specification, meaning the required tightness. The original issue came from a robotic bolt fastener software error that loosened bolts after they had been tightened. In this recall, seat cushion frames that were supposed to be scrapped were released and installed on vehicles. That leaves the driver's seat loose instead of firmly locked to its frame.
The warning sign is movement in the driver's seat. The seat can rock or wobble during use, especially as the driver shifts weight or changes position.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
The risk is poor driver restraint during a crash, which increases injury risk. If the driver's seat rocks or wobbles, avoid extra trips and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
