American Honda is recalling about 2,200 model year 2017 Honda Pioneer 700 side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because the front passenger seat belt buckle can fail. This failure is due to a manufacturing defect that occurs in two-seat and four-seat models sold in red, blue, silver, and camouflage colors. The affected vehicles were sold at authorized Honda Powersports dealers nationwide from December 2016 through April 2017. Owners should contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair to ensure passenger safety.
The front passenger seat belt buckle can fail to latch or stay latched, significantly increasing the risk of injury to the occupant during a crash or sudden stop. While no injuries have been reported, a malfunctioning seat belt cannot properly restrain a passenger.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact their local authorized Honda Powersports dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair. Honda is contacting all known purchasers directly.
