American Honda Motor Co. is Recalling Certain 2017 Vehicles Due to Seatbacks May Not Have Openings for Air Bags

NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V266000
Manufacturer Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Components AIR BAGS, SEATS
Potential Number of Units Affected 69
Summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback and Civic Type R vehicles. 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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection."
Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seatback pads, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin June 1, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is E1D, U1B, and X1C.
