## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain 2018 Honda Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles and 2018 Acura MDX vehicles.  The front driver and passenger powered seats in the Honda vehicles and the driver powered seats in the Acura vehicles may have been assembled with improperly manufactured rivets.  In the event of a crash, the rivets can break causing the seats not to be secured to the floor.  As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."


## What can happen

In the event of a crash, if the seat does not remain secured to the floor, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat frame assembly in Acura MDX vehicles, and replace the driver and front passenger seat slide rail frames in Honda Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles, free of charge.  The recall began May 30, 2018.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's numbers for this recall is D0S, and T0T.
