NHTSA recall 07V542000
Structure · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: On certain vehicles, the hole in the sheetmetal front bulkhead that serves as the base and pivot point for the hood support rod was not punched to specification. The hood support rod may fail to hold the hood in position due to insufficient strength.
Why it matters: If the hood support rod hole fails, the hood could fall increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the prop rod base hole and, if necessary, install reinforcement parts free of charge. The recall began on December 5, 2007.
