Honda driver and front passenger seatback pads sold as replacement service parts were made without slit openings for the seat-mounted side air bags.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
Driver and front passenger seatback pads sold as replacement service parts were made without slit openings for the seat-mounted side air bags. In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the seatback pad would interfere and adversely affect air bag performance.
If the seat-mounted air bags cannot not deploy correctly in the event of a crash, there would be an increased risk of injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seatback pads, free of charge.
