Details
What's wrong: There is a potential for one or more of the four spring assemblies on the engine's variable valve timing and lift electronic control (vtec) system to fail.
Why it matters: A failure of the spring assemblies may cause the vehicle to stall during operation increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the spring assemblies in the engine if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on March 7, 2011.
