## What is wrong

On certain 2002 Acura 3.2TL vehicles with replacement buckles installed per recall 1X\-3\-01 certain 2000 Acura 3.2TL vehicles with replacement buckles installed as product update repairs; and certain 2000\-2002 Acura 3.2TL vehicles with replacement buckles installed as warranty or collision repairs. Repairs were made from March 9 through July 27, 2001. Honda has determined that certain vehicles were repaired with incorrect parts. Some of the noncompliant buckles were mislabeled and redistributed to Acura dealers to be used as recall repair parts. Honda also determined that incorrect front seat belt buckle replacement parts were used for some product update repairs of 2000 Acura 3.2TL vehicles, and warranty or collision repairs of 2000\-2002 3.2TL vehicles. These seat belt buckles may not comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained.  Correction:  Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the front seat belt buckles.
