not sure if this has been posted or not.... but does this recall affect anyone????

The Daily Report For Automotive Executives, Nov. 3, 2003

HONDA PLANS BIG RECALL.
Next month Honda Motor Co. will begin recalling at least
647,000 cars, minivans and SUVs to fix worn ignition swtiches that may allow the key to be removed when the automatic transmission isn't in "park," according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
News of the recall came three days after Honda unveiled an extensive initiative to make side airbags, antilock braking systems and other safety equipment standard on its U.S. vehicles by the end of 2006.
NHTSA has been investigating the ignition switch problem following 169 complaints and three injuries involving parked vehicles rolling away. Honda will inspect the switches and, if needed, install a redesigned latch plate, according to the agency.
The recall will cover the 1997-1999 Acura CL, 1998-1999 Honda Accord, 1999 Odyssey minivan and Acura TL, and 2002 CR-V.

 

I bet the Acura CL is listed merely because it has already had a recall on its ignition, so they are just gonna go ahead and rerelease the information to CL owners to clean up anybody who hasn't had the work done.

 

Damn that is old recall. I guess to make sure everybody does it. Should login to the acura.com website with ur car. They will be able to tell you if u have a recall outstanding on your car.

 

How old of a recall can it be if includes a 2002 CR-V?

 

bwa hahaha.... three people got hit by parked cars... imagine trying to explain that one to your friends... HAHAHA.

 

It can't be old...If you read it, it's dated as of today.

So, if by old you mean 8 hours then please ignore me.

 

guys, this has been posted on AW since last week.

(hope you guys are smart enough to take out the spaces :P)

 

guys... read my post first before replying with, "this is old".


the previous recall with the ignition switch for our CL's was due to the possibility of breaking down, NOT because of the key coming out while the transmission is not in park.

NOTE: this is a NEW recall.

yes, this was report was taken from today's issue of Autobeat Daily.

but i have not seen any official recall notice in the mail.

 

it's 2 different recalls. all i want them to recall is our actual transmission. i have a feeling that it's going to go in the next 20k miles. :-/

 

Ah fawk, my bads, it was a pain in the ass the first time aroung. Damn the same sh*t part again.

 

I have this problem, I thought I had just fucked up my car!

good to know it's gonna get fixed.

 

automatic cl's only right?>

 

As far as the info we at Fox News has, it's certain CL's, and I am trying to get a little bit more infor on this because I just had my old recall repaired 2 months ago when my alternator went out. It seems as if its a new recall, but I figured they should have repaired mine correctly when Acura had it back in August.

I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I get fresh info on this recall.

 

isnt that what the E-Brake is supposed to be pulled up for?

 

who uses the ebrake on an automatic car anyway....

i don't unless i park on some extreme slants

 

is this a canadian recall?

 

i posted this over in the car talk forum, but no one seemed to care

 

I do it 24/7......you never know.

 

you should use it, it relieves a good amount of stress on the transmission.

 

even around corners?

 

i just checked the owners link on the acura website. the only recall listed, for my car anyway, is the old ignition switch recall back in 05/02.

 

On the message it says next month so it probably won't show up and also they probably do it by car series. They have to make sure the dealerships have the part in stock and ready etc making sure the mechanic knows that the problem is. I think if they posted on owners link that means it ready for u.
