2001 Honda Odyssey Owner Complaints

My driver seat belt keeps unlatching . It happens to often. I know there was a previous recall for it but everytime I look it up it doesn’t show on the website. I previously reported here I think last year. Also when shows as an error on the obd reader. As a failing seat belt system recall. My insurance company shows the driver air bag is recalled but again when I look it up here . You list no information about these recalls and it’s scary since both are critical.

Driver seat belt keeps releasing by itself. I put on my seat belt and then it pops open. I haven’t been in any accidents but it’s scares me that it can just release easily therefore no providing me with any protection. I have not taking it in to be reviewed but it has happened multiple times
