This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has determined that the Owner's Manuals of certain 1987 and 1988 model year Honda Accord, Civic and Prelude automobiles
fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210, Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.
Our records indicate that the Owner's Manual provided with your car is missing required information concerning child restraint systems. One or both of
the following sentences need to be added to the Owner's Manual:
According to accident statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the front seat.
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be endangered in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured.
To facilitate making these changes, enclosed is a revised page for your Owner's Manual. Please attach it according to the following instructions:
1.
Detach the top of the enclosed sticker containing the year, model and page number of your Owner's Manual.
2.
Peel away the adhesive backing on the back of the sticker.
3.
Attach the sticker to the appropriate page in your Owner's Manual.
Your dealer has additional stickers available if required, and all the information necessary to assist you in updating your Owner's Manual. If you need
any further assistance after contacting your dealer, you may contact the Zone Office servicing your area as shown on the map on the back of this letter.
If you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to assist you in updating your Owner's Manual after contacting your dealer and the Zone Office,
you may contact:
