Honda "American Honda Motor Co." is recalling certain 2023 Civic Type R vehicles. The driver's seat frame may not have been welded properly, which can cause the seat cushion frame to break.

A broken seat cushion frame may not adequately restrain the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
