AFTER 112,000 MILES MY 1999 HONDA CR-V CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH RESULTING IN A BURNED EXHAUST VALVE AND $1200 VALVE JOB. ACORDING TO HONDA MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE IT IS SUGGESTED THE VALVE CLEARANCES BE INSPECTED AT 105,000 MI. AS THIS IS SUCH A CRITICAL ITEM THE HONDA SHOULD MAKE THE CONSUMER "PAINFULLY AWARE" OF THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID HIGH COST REPAIRS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MY RESEARCH HAS FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME BURNT EXHAUST VALVE SITUATION, SOME OCUURING BEFORE THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. BOTTOM LINE - HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS.*AK

WITH 57K MILES AND ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE, MY HONDA CRV HAD A BURNT EXHAUST VALVE ON THE #3 CYLINDER. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL REFERRING TO THE #3 CYLINDER AND THE VALVE TIGHTNESS FROM THE FACTORY. IF HONDA REALIZED THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM, COULD THEY HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THESE VALVES DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE? I'M NOT HAPPY IN PAYING FOR A REPAIR THAT HONDA COULD HAVE PREVENTED BUT DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. *PH

VEHICLE STALLING AND EXPERIENCING VIBRATION DUE TO ENGINE CYLINDER FAILURE.
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.
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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. AN IMPROPERLY ROUTED UNDER DASH WIRE HARNESS COULD BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A BLOWN FUSE. IF THIS OCCURS, OPERATION OF A CRITICAL COMPONENT CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMPS, TAIL LAMPS, THE ANTI-LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES, AND BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF LIGHTING OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN BAD WEATHER, COULD BE HAZARDOUS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 70MM PROTECTIVE, CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBE OVER THE WIRE HARNESS, IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE STOP SWITCH. IF ANY WIRE OR WIRES ARE DAMAGED, THEY WILL BE REPAIRED.
