Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2202660 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | November 25, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Seat Belt |
| Production period | June 10, 2004 — October 22, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 43 units |
Issue
An incorrect wave washer is installed at the lower anchor point securing the front seat belt to the vehicle body, fixing the anchor's pivot mechanism in place and preventing it from moving. This causes the seat belt to rest across the occupant's abdomen during use. In a collision or other impact, the load on the occupant may increase as a result.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the pivot mechanism at the seat belt lower anchor. On any vehicle where the pivot mechanism is found to be fixed, replace the wave washer with the correct part.
