What's wrong, in plain English
In these vehicles, the frame underneath the driver's seat cushion may not have been tightened properly when the vehicle was built at the factory. Because the frame isn't properly tightened, the driver's seat can end up unsecured instead of being firmly fastened in place the way it should be. This means the seating system in these vehicles does not meet the federal safety standard that covers how seats must be secured.
What you should do
2. Contact a Honda dealer, or call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
3. The repair (replacing the driver's seat cushion frame) is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
