Honda recalls certain 2023 HR-V vehicles with seat belt pretensioners that may lack a critical rivet, increasing crash injury risk. Owners must have seat belts inspected and replaced free by dealers.
A seat belt pretensioner missing a rivet will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
