2002 Honda CR-V recall: seats

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain sport utility vehicles, the front seat anchorage nut strength is insufficient because the nuts were installed improperly.

💥 The risk

If a collision occurred, the seat anchorage would not withstand the force, and the front seat occupants would not be restrained properly.

🔧 The fix

Telephone calls were made to each owner and the vehicles have been replaced.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
