NHTSA recall 14V323000
Exterior Lighting · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: Excessive heat temperatures around the headlight bulb and reflector unit may diminish the output of the headlight and cause smoke, melting, and fire. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: The diminished light output may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Additonally, the excessive heat coming from around the bulb and reflector could cause the headlights to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headlights, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014.
