Affects Honda Cr-V · 2002 — about 3K vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles equipped with automatic seat belt buckle pre-tensioners. The CR-V is equipped with two seat belt pre-tensioners in both front passenger seating positions. Some buckle pre-tensioners use a part that restricts the full motion of the mechanism. If these pre-tensioned activate in a crash, the seat belt could unlatch, leaving the front seat occupants unrestrained. Correction: dealers will repair both front seat belt buckle pre-tensioners.
