Recall notification number: 875

Recall date: September 20, 2002

Affected part: Starter motor solenoid

Fault description: A particular contact point in the starter motor solenoid can suffer from excessive wear, resulting in a short circuit that causes the starter motor to remain engaged until it overheats and ignites. This has the potential to cause a fire in the engine compartment.

Solution: Starter motor solenoid is replaced with a new part

Chassis numbers of affected vehicles:
CE4-1000033 - CE4-1041994
CE4-1100001 - CE4-1106441
CE5-1000040 - CE5-1007168
CE5-1100001 - CE5-1100617

This recall also affects certain Inspire, Saber and Vigor models.

Course of action: Contact your local Honda dealer as soon as possible to arrange an appointment to have the part replaced. This replacement is totally free of charge.

 

There was also an earlier recall to replace the rear speaker wiring, but I don't have any details on this. My understanding is that the insulation on the rear speaker wires could be damaged from rubbing against the parcel shelf, posing a fire hazard.

 

For each recall there should be a small round green sticker in the corner of the rear windscreen.
