SEAT BELTS

the seat belt buckles on the rear center and rear driver side seat are reversed. the buckle imprinted with the word center is on the rear driver side and the rear driver seat buckle is on the center. the bracket that holds both buckles is not symmetrical. dealer stated that honda corp told to rotate bracket 180 degrees. this changer the bracket for the belts from forward facing to rear facing along with shifting the belts 1.25" to the left if facing the front. this changes the bracket from being in tension in an accident to being a bending moment. the belts not longer go through the center of holes in seat assembly but wear against edges. i stated this was not acceptable and demanded the bracket be return to original orientation. call honda corp 800 number they just took my name and vin number with out any solution. this needs to be recalled, there supposed fix is nothing more than trying to get by with using a defective rear seat buckle assembly.

SEAT BELTS

there is an issue with the seat belt bracket for the center and left (drivers side) rear seats, the buckles are mounted backwards. so to use the buckle you would have to cross with the other buckle as they are not the same and cannot be interchanged . the buckle mounted towards the outside to be used by that passenger is even marked center. creates a safety issue for rear passengers.

SEAT BELTS

seatbelt buckles in center of back seats are bolted into seat crossed, making the seatbelt buckles overlapping eachother in back seat. could pose risk of breaking due to excess weight not supported by one bolt. weight of two passengers are now distributed between the bolts, instead of one bolt per person.
