According to the manufacturer Honda is recalling 310773 Pilot SUVs with the model years 2009 through 2011. The recall is aimed at a potential defect in the stitching of the seat belts. The stitching may be incomplete near the lap section of the belt posing a risk of detaching from the anchor and not providing a safe seat belt in an accident. Two complaints have been issued regarding the detaching belts.
Commentary
Recalls aimed at any safety feature of a vehicle should be given high deference. A car without a proper seat belt can be a great liability to a manufacturer as that faulty product could be linked to injuries in an accident. Knowing this risk manufacturers will issue recalls to mitigate this liability and prevent future injury. If any of my readers own a Pilot with the model year 2009 2010 or 2011 you are strongly encouraged to contact your Honda dealership and arrange for a replacement.
