All but 100,000 of the models from 2011-2017 were sold in the United States, company officials said Saturday.

Honda said it received 46 reports of injuries connected to the problem, which occurs when the seats aren't properly latched.

“If a second row seat is not properly latched after adjusting it side-to-side or reinstalling a removed seat, the seat may tip forward during moderate to heavy braking, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant,” the company statement said. “This issue will not occur if a seat is properly latched.”
