SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
THE FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTONS CAN BREAK. THESE RED PLASTIC RELEASE BUTTONS ARE MARKED "PRESS." IF A BUTTON BREAKS, PIECES CAN FALL INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE BUCKLE TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY.
Remedy: OWNERS SHOULD PROMPTLY CHECK THE CONDITION AND OPERATION OF BOTH FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLES. CAREFULLY INSPECT THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOR ANY BREAKS OR CRACKS. CHECK THAT BOTH BUCKLES ARE OPERATING PROPERLY BY INSERTING EACH LATCH PLATE INTO ITS BUCKLE, TUG ON THE BELT TO MAKE SURE THE LATCH IS SECURELY LOCKED, THEN PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. THE LATCH PLATE SHOULD POP OUT OF THE BUCKLE WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED. IF EITHER RELEASE BUTTON SHOWS ANY SIGN OF BREAKAGE OR CRACKING, OR IF EITHER BUCKLE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY, PROMPTLY CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED HONDA/ACURA DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BUCKLE REPLACED OR REPAIRED, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER IS DEVELOPING A REMEDY DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY BROKEN.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IF THE PLASTIC COATING OF THE FUEL FILLER AND/OR BREATHER PIPE IS DAMAGED, SALT WATER MAY ACCUMULATE BETWEEN THE PLASTIC COATING AND THE STEEL PIPES, AND THE ACCUMULATION COULD CAUSE CORROSION WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY RUST THROUGH THE AFFECTED PIPES, ALLOWING GASOLINE FUMES AND FUEL TO LEAK.
Remedy: REPAIRS WILL BE MADE TO VEHICLES WITH CORRODED FILLER OR BREATHER PIPES.

THIS IS WITH REGARDS TO CAMPAIGNS 92V028000 AND 92V028001. BOTH CAMPAIGNS CALL FOR REPAIRS TO DAMAGED PART, BUT DON'T ADDRESS HOW LONG MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING SPECIFIC PART. IN THIS CASE IT IS THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND BREATHER TUBE. HONDA OBVIOUSLY MUST HAVE CHANGED MANUFACTURING OR MATERIALS TO PREVENT FURTHER PROBLEMS, BUT THIS RECALL ONLY COVERS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A ONE TIME INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE REPAIR IF DAMAGE NOTICED. THE RECALLS ARE FROM 1992 AND 1993 FOR 1986 AND 1987 MODELS. PERSONALLY I HAVE A 1987 MODEL THAT NOW HAS 255,000 MILES. GRANTED, THIS VEHICLE IS OLD WITH HIGH MILEAGE, BUT A RECALL SUCH AS THIS SHOULD GO BEYOND A ONE TIME INSPECTION TO ADDRESS DEFECTIVE PARTS OR MANUFACTURING METHODS WITH A PERMANENT RESOLUTION. *JB
