NHTSA recall 09E063000
Equipment · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: The accessory was designed specifically for model year 2008-2010 Honda accord 4-door vehicles. It is possible for the nose mask material to interfere with part of the hood latch. If the hood has not been completely closed and the nose mask interferes with the secondary hood latch mechanism the hood may pop open while the vehicle being driven.
Why it matters: This may result in reduced driver visibility that could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Honda is asking owners to please remove the nose mask immediately and call any authorized Honda dealer to make an appointment to return the nose mask and have it replaced free of charge. The safety recall began on March 2009.
