• SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY Recall for 1986 Honda Accord

  • Recall Announced MAY 24 1995
  • NHTSA Reference #95V103001
  • Number Affected 3,700,000

  Summary: The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." If a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.

  Consequence: The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.

  Fix: Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles. Carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. Check that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tug on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, then press the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows any sign of breakage or cracking, or if either buckle fails to operate properly, promptly contact your authorized Honda/Acura dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent the failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.

  • Recall Announced APRIL 15 1993
  • NHTSA Reference #92V028001
  • Number Affected 920,583

  Summary: If the plastic coating of the fuel filler and/or breather pipe is damaged, salt water may accumulate between the plastic coating and the steel pipes, and the accumulation could cause corrosion which would eventually rust through the affected pipes, allowing gasoline fumes and fuel to leak.

  Consequence: Gasoline fumes and/or fuel leakage through the filler orbreather pipes could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.

  Fix: Repairs will be made to vehicles with corroded filler or breather pipes.
