Honda recalling 500,000 vehicles to fix seat belt problem

Honda is recalling a half-million vehicles in the U.S. and Canada because the front seat belts may not latch properly.

Honda says the surface coating on the channel for the buckle can deteriorate over time.

The release button can shrink against the channel at lower temperatures, increasing friction and stopping the buckle from latching.

Dealers will replace the buckle release buttons or the buckle assemblies if needed.
