The Japanese auto major Honda Motor is on a vehicle recall spree if the reports are to go by. It has been reported that the company is now recalling almost 347,000 Pilot sport utility vehicles worldwide for a potential problem with the front seat belts.

According to reports, Honda stated that the recall, which affects vehicles built in Lincoln, Alabama for model years 2009 through 2011, was being performed because the driver or front passenger seat belts could become disconnected from the anchor webbing in an accident, increasing the risk of an injury. Honda said no injuries or deaths have been reported related to the issue. According to the company, the recall was due to a manufacturing error on a small number of front seat belts, where the stitching connecting the lap section of the belt to the outboard anchor webbing may be incomplete or missing. Honda said written notification to Pilot owners will begin in early October. It was also mentioned that almost 311,000 of the Pilot SUVs were in the United States and another 10,000 in Canada, more than 8,000 in Mexico and the rest in other countries.

It can be recalled that earlier this month, Honda recalled about 960,000 Fit subcompacts and other models globally to repair defects including malfunctioning power window switches. In August, the automaker recalled nearly 2.5 million cars, small SUVs and minivans worldwide to repair a software problem that could damage the automotive transmission.
