Seat belts:front

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles. The front seat belt pretensioners may be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," 209, "Seat Belt Assembles," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

A seat belt pretensioner missing a rivet will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The screen on the car would randomly turn on and off when the vehicle is on and it will do this the whole time . On Dec 2022 Another issue I had was the door wouldn’t unlock on the driver side. I had to get someone to open my door. The door was unlocked but physically wouldn’t open.
Electrical system mileage not reported 7 mo in service
I was driving on the freeway and my rear window shattered. There was no potholes or cars next to me. I had turned off the rear defroster 2 miles before it shattered. Sometimes the driver side and passenger windows wont go all the way up. They stop and go back down.
