Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling 640 of its 2023 Civic Type R vehicles because the driver's seat frame may not have been welded properly during manufacturing. This defect can cause the seat cushion frame to break unexpectedly. If the frame breaks, the seat may not properly restrain the driver during a collision, and the vehicle fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207. Authorized dealers will replace the front driver seat cushion frame assembly with a new one at no cost to the owner.
An improperly welded seat frame can snap or fail during a crash, preventing the seat from holding the driver in the correct position. This failure increases the risk of serious injury because the vehicle's safety systems, such as seatbelts and airbags, may not function as intended if the driver is not properly restrained.
Free replacement of the front driver seat cushion frame assembly.
