Not sure where people are reading that but ok...
So this affects 70 cars which went in for service to have their seatbacks replaced. Right?

In stead of guessing just use the link to enter your vin and know for sure. If not your car forget it and move on. If it is your car then you know.

Had you taken two seconds to look at my profile you would know my Vin is not affected.
Wheaton's law applies here apparently.

quote from page follows

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 70 model-year 2017 Honda Civic hatchbacks and Civic Type R cars

The Problem: Driver- and front-passenger seatback pads sold as replacement service parts were made without slit openings for the seat-mounted side airbags. In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, the seatback pad could interfere and adversely affect airbag performance, increasing the risk of injury.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the front seatback pads.

Man I was just trying to let people know. No need to come be a jerk. And why would I read your profile to respond to you ? Anyway.

I work at a Honda dealer And as of right now only 1 type r is affected
It says the recall is for a service part. If your seat hasn’t been repaired—this part replaced—already, then you wouldn’t be affected.

That was my take from reading the article. It stuck me as odd that the thread title was "There is now an official recall", from someone who doesn't seem to be affected, referring to a part which only would affect people who already had a part replaced. Wouldn't a better title have been "If you had your seatback replaced, there is now an official recall(70 affected)". Certainly less alarming that way. The present title feels like click bait to me.

Wow you can make a mountain out of a mole hill. There is nothing click bait about my post. I was, as a CTR owner, letting other CTR owners kmow who may not know. No one knows every body else car and who it would or would not affect. I was just trying to help. You dont even own a CTR so why are you commenting anyway?
