Defect / Noncompliance Description

Describe the defect or noncompliance:
During production of the driver's seat cushion frame, some bolts were improperly torqued and over time could loosen and fall off.

Describe the safety risk:
If a bolt falls off, the driver's seat may become unsecured and rock or wobble during use, increasing the risk or severity of an injury in the event of a crash.

Describe the cause:
Cause from initial recall (NHTSA ID 24V-859): Due to a software error in the robotic bolt fastener for the driver's seat height adjuster links, the torque tool controller and torque tool robotic arm controller lost synchronization and loosened bolts that previously were tightened to proper torque specifications.

Cause of current recall: Seat cushion frames that were previously reported by the supplier as scrapped were inadvertently released into the market and installed on affected vehicles.

Identify any warning which can precede or occur:
The driver's seat may rock or wobble during use.

Identify the Remedy

Description of remedy program:
Registered owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer. The dealer will replace the driver's seat cushion frame with a properly assembled part.

How remedy component differs from recalled component:
The remedy components have properly torqued seat height adjuster links.

Recall Schedule

Describe the recall schedule for notifications:
Dealer notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 1/30/2026. Owner notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 3/9/2026.
