My driver seat belt keeps unlatching . It happens to often. I know there was a previous recall for it but everytime I look it up it doesn’t show on the website. I previously reported here I think last year. Also when shows as an error on the obd reader. As a failing seat belt system recall. My insurance company shows the driver air bag is recalled but again when I look it up here . You list no information about these recalls and it’s scary since both are critical.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SEAT BELT EMERGENCY RETRACTION MODE ENGAGED WHEN SEAT BELT WAS NOT LOCKED IN. THE SEAT BELT RETRACTED AND ALMOST STRANGULATED A LITTLE BOY. IT HAD TO BE CUT TO RELEASE HIM OR HE MAY HAVE DIED. WE CANNOT FIND ANY INFORMATION THAT PROVIDED ANY OTHER RECOURSE BUT TO CUT THE SEAT BELT. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT SHOULD HAVE RETRACTED IN THIS MANNER WHEN NOT BUCKLED. WE ARE NOT SURE WHETHER HONDA WOULD CHARGE ANYTHING TO REPAIR THIS. THE LITTLE BOY HOWEVER IS STILL VERY UPSET.
