RSX seat: is it equipped with an exploding buckle, same as the original seat had?

Re: SRS light code 21-1
the 'exploding buckle' means the pre-tensioners, which have a little charge that goes off to tighten up the seat belt in the event of an accident

Re: SRS light code 21-1
Yeah I know, that's why I ask if the buckles are exactly the same.
I suspect not, but YOU have to figure it out.
Is there a recall for that?
Would Honda honour such replacement if I have the seats in my 02 Civic?
Charge you appropriately for a valuable service? I sure hope so.
Also, some dealers may opt to replace a buckle under a warranty, BUT consider that you have now modified the SRS system by installing a non-original seat, the car is no longer equipped as it was designed, so a dealer may decide to avoid any possible liability issues and decline to work on your car.
