Honda Car Forum

Someone told me that they heard a very recent news report
in regard to the recall
related to certain Honda cars. If you heard or read such
a report, would you tell us which models are effected
and what the problem is with those vehicles.

I only found one web site that you was helpful but
it does not have info about current recalls

the web site is
http://www.recalldata.org

There was a recent recall on '02 and '03 CRV's, there was a problem with
corrosion on the shift cable linkage. Took my '02 in and they had it done
in less than an hour, washed it for me also...

Last night's news. Some CRV's, mostly Accords, IIRC. None were 2003
models. Had to do with the key being able to be removed while the car
is in gear. When I saw that neither my nor my husband's vehicles are
affected, I kinda stopped paying close attention.

I read something about transmissions not staying in park on some 98 and
up Accords and Odys. bob

Bill, I did a google search and came up with this:

Robertson Honda notified me on 10/31/03 that there is a recall on the
emission systems for my 1997 Honda Accord LX. I took it in on 11/04/03 and
the emission system was upgraded. According to Honda Headquarters,
recalls are done via VIN's once it is determined that "vehicles" within a
specified production are affected. My previous recalls showed up at the
owners link off the Honda web site. Of course you have to sign up there to
be notified

the new model CRV's has one recall and one product update, a shifter cable
update and a throttle cable recall. The 2003 Accords have two also. One is
a air intake system update and the other is a trans update where a
"no-reverse" condition can apparently occur if you should happen to be
caught in snow and you try to rock the vehicle free by using forward and
reverse concurrently over and over again.
The Emissions warranty that the Shardey Inc fella was referring to is this:
on the 1995 v6 accord and all 1996 and 1997 Honda models they have an
extended warranty on the emissions system ( a deal Honda made with the
Federal Gov rather than recalling all those vehicles). Apparently the on
board diagnosis (OBD II) emission systems of those years only did not meet
federal regulations at that time. So for instance, any time the "check
engine" light comes on and stays active on these models , you have a 99.5%
chance that it will be covered under that extended warranty which is 14
years 150,000 miles whichever occurs first. Items like oxygen sensors, cat
converters, coil paks, ecu, pcm and so on. In addition Honda will perform
certain free checks on the emission system at certain mileges and also
replace the distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs along with an oil change
absolutely free. This warranty travels with the vehicle no matter who owns
it at the time.
If you have moved since you purchased your Honda or are a new owner of a
used Honda contact your local Honda dealer and ask for the number for
American Honda Motors, call them and have them update your info and or let
them know you are the new owner so that you can receive any recall info and
or product updates

Interesting. The shift interlock broke on my 99 accord last year. I
finally got it fixed at the dealer last month for $250. Now that it's an
official recall, anyone know how to apply for reimbursement?

There should be instructions on how to apply for reimbursement included in
the recall letter you will (eventually) be getting from Honda.

Hi,

My '98 Honda Accord was recently recalled due to problems with the
safetybelts in the backseats. One of them had to be replaced. The front
seats belts where also checked (just to be sure).
