The short answer
NHTSA received Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)’s report on Feb 16, 2023. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A seat back position that fails may not adequately restrain the occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023 CR-V vehicles.
The front passenger seat back frame may not have been welded properly, which can cause the seat back position to fail in the event of a crash.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, “Seating Systems” and 201, “Occupant Protection in Interior Impact.”
