BACK TO RECALLS LIST
Summer 2002
Important Safety Recall: Ignition Switch
Dear Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey or Prelude Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
What is the reason for this notice?
Honda Motor Co., Ltd., has determined that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in the ignition switch on certain 1997 thru 2000 Honda automobiles. Electrical contacts in the ignition switch can wear prematurely due to high electrical current passing through the switch. Worn out ignition contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning. Although the engine will restart in most cases, if your engine stalls while driving in traffic or at highway speeds, you're at risk of being involved in a crash. Difficulties starting the engine (for example, hard-to-start, stalls immediately after starting, etc.) may indicate that the ignition switch is failing.
What should you do?
Call any authorized Honda dealer, and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The dealer will install an improved ignition switch, free of charge. Please plan to leave your vehicle at the dealership for half a day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling

I got my letter in the mail last summer for this one. Already fixed it. Although if you have a remote starter/alarm feeding off of the ignition harness they will most likely make you disconnect it and then reconnect on to the new harness. That is what they did with mine. They wanted $40 to re-hook up the wires. which take about 2 minutes to do.
