Honda Recalls 2017 Pioneer 700 Vehicles Due to Seat Belt Defect

Plain-English summary

American Honda Motor Company Inc. is recalling approximately 2,200 model year 2017 Honda Pioneer 700 side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs). The recall involves two-seat and four-seat models sold in blue, red, silver, or camouflage colors. These vehicles are motorized with a steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal, and seat belts.

The recall is being conducted because the front passenger seat belt buckle can fail due to a manufacturing defect, which poses a risk of injury. No injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.

The affected vehicles were sold at authorized Honda Powersports dealers nationwide from December 2016 through April 2017 for between $10,500 and $13,500. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact their local authorized Honda Powersports dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair.
