1 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2025

Vehicle: 2016 Honda Cr-v mileage: ~133,120 miles component: driver-side seat belt retractor the driver-side seat belt retractor failed during normal use and became mechanically locked and unusable. There was no crash, no collision, no misuse, no airbag deployment, and no srs warning light at the time of failure. This failure rendered the primary occupant restraint inoperable. I requested coverage under Honda’s seat belt limited warranty, which states that seat belts that fail to function properly during normal use are covered. Honda denied warranty coverage for the driver-side seat belt retractor based on internal component classification, not because the seat belt functioned properly. The warranty denial was final. I was informed that the failure would not be covered under the seat belt warranty and that any assistance would only be discretionary goodwill, not warranty coverage. I am submitting this complaint because a primary safety restraint failed without a triggering event, and warranty coverage was denied despite normal-use failure. I believe the consumer-facing warranty language does not clearly disclose that a seat belt can fail mechanically yet still be excluded from coverage based on internal classification.

Two seat belts in back seat have frayed for unknown reason. The seat behind the driver has completely frayed. The middle seat was originally frayed about half inch and then, after bringing it to Hondas attention, it has frayed at another spot almost completely. Honda does not want to call it a defect and wants to call it wear and tear. This vehicle is only used for work commute and only has 16k miles. There havent been any passengers in the rear for 95% of those miles. Homda refuses to inspect the car further and has only relied in phitos that were taken at the dealership to make their decision in saying its not a defect and therefore will not repair it under warranty.
