First recall
I've just had my Honda dealer call me to book my car in for a software update - the first recall, about six and a half months from when I bought it. They said it should take no more than 30 minutes to do. I've no idea what it is supposed to fix or improve,but It's booked in for Thursday, so I might find out then.

There is hope! Maybe they are able to fix the annyoing lags when using Google Maps via CarPlay as well as the intermittent problems with the door locking sensor. Eagerly awaiting your report keithr!
The dealer took about 45 minutes to perform the software update. They said my car was the first car that they had updated. The updated is to fix the display of the seatbelt warning, although I'm not sure what the precise details are.
I've not noticed any changes so far, except for one very minor irritation, which was that the trip computer information was affected. The Trip A and Trip B miles were preserved, but the miles/kWh was altered and incorrect, so I have had to reset both trips meters.
So it looks like Jj2020 may have been right, it was "to remedy rear seatbelt reminder not displayed error". Presumably something to do with what page 49 of the Owner's Manual talks about:

This morning I had a letter from Honda, asking me to call the dealer for this update. I called the dealer, and he said that the patch which Honda had supplied to them was faulty, so they were not yet ready to perform the update! He said that Honda would send out a further communication when they'd sorted themselves out.

Got our letter this morning too. Rang the dealer, first she'd even heard of the recall. I asked if they could perhaps do some digging into the current status of the "fix" before we waste time having it done only to have to have it done again.
@keithr Are you aware of any side effects, or it not fixing the issue at all?

I too had the recall letter arrive in the post this morning - the day after I had the work done! It says the issue is "the rear seatbelt status is not displayed after the power is turned on". I don't recall (pun intended) seing it displayed when I turned the car on after the update (but according to the manual I wouldn't expect to)!
