My driver seat belt keeps unlatching . It happens to often. I know there was a previous recall for it but everytime I look it up it doesn’t show on the website. I previously reported here I think last year. Also when shows as an error on the obd reader. As a failing seat belt system recall. My insurance company shows the driver air bag is recalled but again when I look it up here . You list no information about these recalls and it’s scary since both are critical.

Air bags: frontal: driver side: inflator module
- What is wrong
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1‑888‑234‑2138.

Defect investigations
Front coil spring fracture
The population of 116,000 vehicles is an estimate based on american honda motor company (ahm) data identifying original state of sale or delivery.the subject vehicles (sv) utilize light weight coil springs manufactured from high strength steel (hss).if the coating material of a hss spring is breached, corrosive elements (salt) may attack the spring.spring corrosion results in a stress riser and may cause a fracture.depending on the location where the spring breaks, the jagged edge may pierce the tire; a rapid deflation of the tire may occur and can result in a loss of control or crash.sv spring failure mechanics and tire contact likelihood are discussed in an ahm presentation to odi dated april 20th, 2006 (available on odi?s web site; www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov).ahm?s presentation identified two mechanisms which cause the spring coating to become breached; 1) contact with the lower spring seat, and 2) entrapment of abrasive materials between the silencer tube and spring.the presentation compared sv spring fracture rates to the honda mdx model, a sister vehicle recalled for front spring fracture under the federal safety agency recall 05v385, and to other vehicles investigated and or recalled for front spring fracture.the spring fracture rate for the sv, which is about half the rate of the mdx model even though the sv's have one year longer in service, is comparable to rates observed in prior spring fracture investigations that were closed with no recall and low in comparison to investigations that have resulted in a safety recall.of the 7 reports odi identified alleging tire damage due to spring fracture, 6 involved spring-tire contact which resulted in slow or no loss of air pressure; odi was unable to verify the one report alleging a puncture occurred.odi notes that the sv front spring differs from the mdx spring in that it has a single silencer tube (upper only, as opposed to upper and lower on the mdx) which is, according to ahm, located in an area less likely to result in a tire puncture should a fracture occur.a defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources is not warranted.accordingly, this investigation is closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
