Exclamation Ignition Switch Recall

So I just called the local Acura stealership and I'm taking her in for the free service and the IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. . I was pretty surpised when he told me this so she goes in tuesday and jsut letting you guys know about the recall on the ignition switch. If you already new about it dont worry if you did check it out. Not sure on the yearage but my car is a 97' dont know on the others.

NHTSA Recall History

1997-98: Ball joints on certain cars could wear out prematurely and, in worst case, separate and cause front suspension to collapse.

1997-98: Electrical contacts in the ignition switch can degrade due to the high electrical current that passes through the switch at startup.

1997-99: Ignition-switch wear may lead to failure of interlock, making it possible to remove key without shifting into "Park."


1998: Irregularity in transmission cover can limit movement of parking pawl actuation lever and prevent adequate engagement; car could roll down an incline while transmission is in "Park."

This is well documented on this site, it's only for the 97's
