NEWS:
Engine problems force Honda recall
WASHINGTON -
March 19, 2007 - Honda Motor Corp. said
Monday that it was recalling about 165,000
vehicles from the 2005-06 model years in the
United States to deal with potential engine
problems
Honda said
the recall affected 2005 models of the Acura
RL, TL and TSX sedans, 2005 Honda Accord
coupes, sedans and hybrids, 2005 Odyssey
minivans and 2006 Ridgeline trucks.
The move is
part of a global recall because of similar
problems, said Honda spokesman Chris Martin.
Details on the total number of vehicles and
the number of countries where the vehicles
were sold were not immediately available, he
said.
Martin said
the automaker discovered that sealer
material leaked onto a coil wire inside the
fuel pump relay on some of the vehicles. The
wire can become brittle and snap, causing
the engine to stall or fail to start.

NEWS:
AUTO INDUSTRY REPORT: Honda to recall
minivan
August 4, 2005
Honda Motor Co.
will recall thousands of its Odyssey
minivans amid concerns that potentially
faulty sensors for the front air bag system
could make a warning lamp on the instrument
panel remain illuminated, the company said
Wednesday.
Honda said the recall involves 85,154
Odyssey minivans from the 2005 model year.
The company said the two sensors near the
front bumper could be susceptible to
corrosion from road salt, leading the
warning light to turn on.
The warning light indicates a malfunction
and instructs the driver to have the vehicle
repaired. The company said in a letter to
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration that some of the sensors were
insufficiently sealed during manufacturing.
Sara Pines, a Honda spokeswoman, said
there have been no reports of the front air
bags improperly deploying or failing to
deploy and there have been no injuries
associated with the sensors.
Owners will be notified beginning in late
August and dealers will replace the sensors
at no additional cost to the consumers.
