NHTSA recall 10V055000
Structure · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with power operated rear liftgate. The power liftgate gas struts may deteriorate unexpectedly early. Struts that have worn out prematurely may fail to hold the power liftgate in the fully open position, causing the power liftgate to close unexpectedly.
Why it matters: Injury may result from a power liftgate closing unexpectedly when a person is within the closing path of the liftgate.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the gas liftgate struts and replace if within the recall population. This service will be performed free of charge. The campaign began on March 26, 2010.
