Important Safety Recall Notice
Dear Acura Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the defect provisions of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
The Reason For This Notice
Honda has determined that front seat belt buckle release buttons have broken and others may break in the future, in some 1986 - 91 Acura cars equipped
with seat belts made by the Takata Corporation. These seat belt buckle release buttons are made of red plastic, and are marked "PRESS" If a button
breaks, pieces may fall into the buckle assembly. If this occurs, the buckle may not operate properly, thereby creating a safety risk.
To prevent this problem from occurring, Acura will replace all broken front seat belt buckles, free of charge. In addition, Acura will modify all unbroken
buckles manufactured by Takata to prevent future button breakage.
Why Seat Belts Are Important
If your seat belt buckle is broken or does not operate properly, you should have it replaced as soon as possible. Seat belts are the most important part of
your car's safety equipment Acura urges you to wear your seat belt whenever you drive, and to make sure that your passengers also wear theirs. If you do
not wear your seat belt, your chances of being killed or seriously Injured during a collision are much higher than If you are wearing a seat belt. That Is
why seat belt use Is required by law in almost every state.
What You Should Do
Call any authorized Acura dealer and make an appointment to have your car repaired. If either release button shows any sign of breakage or cracking, or
if either buckle fails to operate properly, the dealer will replace the buckle, free of charge.
Even If both front seat belt release buttons appear to be In good condition, and both buckles operate properly, your seat belt buckles will need to be
modified to prevent future button breakage. Modification of the seat belt buckles will be free of charge and parts are now available.
Replacement or modification of the seat belt buckles will take less than half an hour; however, the dealer may need to keep your car for a longer period
because of their workload. Please call for an appointment.
