Vehicle-Specific Recall Note
NHTSA campaign 95V103001 involves the front safety belt buckle assembly on certain 1986 Honda Civic models. The red plastic release buttons, marked "PRESS," may break, potentially causing pieces to fall into the buckle assembly and resulting in improper operation. If the buckles do not function correctly, the safety belts may not provide adequate protection to occupants during a crash. A VIN-level recall check is required to determine whether a specific vehicle is affected or still has an unrepaired recall. Owners should inspect the red release buttons for cracks or breakage and ensure the latch plates lock securely and release properly when the button is pressed.
