Owner-reported complaints naming the seat belt system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Seat belts reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE CONTACTED AUTO PARTS DEALERS TO DETERMINE IF THE 1994 AND 1995 SRS CONTROL UNITS ARE INTERCHANGABLE. THEY ARE. THEREFORE, THE RECALL ON THE 1994 ACCORDS FOR FAILURE OF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE APPLIED TO ALL OF THE 1995 ACCORDS. WHY HAS NHTSA NOT REQUIRED HONDA TO RECALL ALL MODELS OF THE ACCORD IN THESE YEARS FOR FAILURE OF THIS PART?
