FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE CONTINUALLY WARPING. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND AM NOW ON MY THIRD SET OF ROTORS. FIRST AND SECOND SET OF ROTORS WERE EACH RE-MACHINED PRIOR TO REPLACEMENT. SPOKE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THEY CANNOT VERIFY MY DRIVING HABITS. CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, SO I USE ENGINE BRAKING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID OVERUSE OF THE BRAKES. AM AT THE POINT NOW WHERE I AM AFRAID TO USE THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF CONSTANTLY WARPING THE ROTORS. HAVE DONE SOME INFORMAL RESEARCH AND APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS HONDA MODELS, NOT JUST CIVIC. HONESTLY FEEL THAT I AM NOT HARD ON MY BRAKES, AND BELIEVE THIS IS MORE OF A DESIGN FLAW ON HONDA'S PART. HAVE NOT HAD ANY INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM YET, BUT IT IS ADVERSELY AFFECTING MY SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS, NOT TO MENTION MY FINANCES.*AK

THE LCD DISPLAY IN THE CD RADIO IS UNREADABLE UNDER MOST ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS, BUTTON LABELS ARE SO SMALL THEY CAN'T BE READ. THIS CREATES A SIGNIFIGANT POTENTENTIAL HAZARD IN OPERATING IT. SINCE IT IS A PART OF THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMS IT IS AN ISSUE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION VS A CONSUMER ELECTRONICS ISSUE, BUT IT IS SOMEWHAT BOTH. FACTORY OEM RADIOS HAVE MUCH BETTER DISPLAY, BUT ARE THEY REQUIRED TO, BUT AFTERMARKET SEEM TO HAVE NO STANDARDS AND I THINK THEY SHOULD. DO THEY. THE UNIT I HAVE IS A CLARION MODEL RDB365D. *AK

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.

These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.

The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A TANK RUPTURE, EXPLOSION, AND EJECTION OF THE TANK FROM THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: 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.
ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
CERTAIN SEDANS AND COUPES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES." CERTAIN REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE REAR SEAT BELTS WILL WORK PROPERLY AND PROVIDE PROTECTION IN A CRASH, BUT THE OWNER MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY UNFASTENING THE BELT AFTER THE CRASH.
Remedy: IN A PREVIOUS RECALL (01V-380), ONLY RIGHT AND LEFT BUCKLES WERE INSPECTED. THE REAR CENTER BUCKLE SHOULD ALSO BE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED IF NECESSARY. THIS RECALL IS BEING CONDUCTED ONLY FOR THE CENTER BUCKLE. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES THAT WERE IMRPOPERLY MANUFACTURED.
