Recalls
2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Electrical Vehicle recall #98V300000 · 1998 · 226 vehicles
What's wrong: The program logic for the motor electronic control unit (ECU) can mistakenly detect a failure of an electrical current sensor at speeds above 50 mph. If this occurs, the ECU quickly reduces vehicle speed in order to maintain proper feedback control.
Why it matters: This can result in a sudden loss of power and unexpected deceleration that could cause a rear-end collision.
The fix: Dealers will upgrade the ECU .
Airbags Vehicle recall #20V026000 · 2020 · 1,439,841 vehicles
What's wrong: Honda (american Honda motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2cl, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3cl, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0cl, 2001 Acura 3.2cl and Acura mdx, 1998-2000 Honda accord coupe, accord sedan, civic sedan, odyssey and Acura 3.5rl, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2tl, 1996-2000 civic coupe, 1997-2000 cr-v, 1997-1998 ev plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with non-azide driver air bag inflators…
Why it matters: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture May result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion May not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020.
