2007

6,545 vehicles recalled

2007 HONDA CIVIC -- On certain compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, in the event of a severe interior fire in the area of the rear seat, the CNG tank may be heated unevenly, preventing the pressure relief device from venting the contents of the tank as designed.

This could result in a tank rupture, explosion, and ejection of the tank from the vehicle.

Dealers will install a heat insulator material to the rear seat back. An interim owner letter was mailed to owners beginning November 26, 2007. When parts are available, owners will be renotified asking them to bring in their vehicle for repair. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

NHTSA Campaign #07V399000 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR

SEPTEMBER 05
2007

260,000 vehicles recalled

2007 HONDA CIVIC -- On certain vehicles, the wheel speed sensor housing uses an O-ring seal to prevent leakage to or from the wheel bearing. If assembled improperly, the O-ring may not seal properly allowing water to enter the wheel bearing and eventually cause damage to the bearing, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. If the driver continues to drive with this condition it is possible for the wheel bearing to become loose, which could cause the bearing to fail.

This could cause a wheel to fall off of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.

Dealers will inspect the rear ABS sensors and wheel bearings for damaged parts and replace them free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2007. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

NHTSA Campaign #07V402000 EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

SEPTEMBER 05
2007

130,000 vehicles recalled

2007 HONDA CIVIC -- On certain sedan and hybrid (CNG) vehicles, during assembly, the telescopic steering column mechanism may have been over-lubricated with silicone grease. Over time, some of this extra grease may drip on the brake light switch causing the switch to fail.

Failure may result in a loss of brake lights and an increased risk that the vehicle could be struck in the rear. In addition, a failed brake light switch could prevent shifting the transmission from the park position (vehicles with an automatic transmission).

Dealers will replace the brake light switch and install a protective cover overthe switch free of charge. The recall began on October 2, 2007. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #07V402000 »
