Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the dimmer control for the instrument panel lights could fail due to heat buildup.
Why it matters: If this occurs, the instrument lights may fail and, at night, the driver may not be able to see the instrument panel gauges, such as the speedometer.
The fix: Dealers will replace a multiplex control unit for the instrument panel lights. Owner notification began June 16, 2004. Owners should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
