Fire Risk

Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

SUMMARY:

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2013 Accord vehicles that are Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) II rated that were manufactured January 15, 2013, through April 5, 2013. The fuel tank neck may be out of specification causing the fuel pump to not properly seal to the fuel tank.

CONSEQUENCE:

An insufficient seal may led to a fuel leak which increases the risk of a fire.

Honda is recalling 353,000 Accord sedans because of corrosion in the windshield wiper motor that results from water leaking into the motor.

The water leaks can lead to an electrical circuit breaker failure inside the motor. When that happens, poof! No more windshield wiper. If it occurs in the middle of a rainstorm when you're on the highway, an accident can easily result.

Early reports conflict on what model years are covered by the recall, with some saying all Accords from 2003 on while others saying it's just the 2003 model year itself. Call your Honda dealer to be sure if your Accord is in, or out, of the recall.

This is an early consumer warning report. Further information will follow when federal safety investigators release it.

Potential Number Of Units Affected :

Summary: HONDA IS RECALLING AN UNDETERMINED QUANTITY OF Model Year 2003 ACCORD VEHICLES. IF WATER ENTERS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BREATHER PORT, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE MOTOR TO VENT WARM AIR DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION INSIDE THE MOTOR HOUSING. THIS CAN CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BREAKER INSIDE THE MOTOR HOUSING.

Consequence: IF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FAILS, IT WILL CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TO BECOME INOPERATIVE, WHICH CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FOR SIGNS OF CORROSION. IF NO SIGNS OF CORROSION ARE PRESENT, A COVER WILL BE INSTALLED OVER THE WIPER MOTOR TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE WIPER MOTOR HOUSING. IF SIGNS OF CORROSION DAMAGE ARE OBSERVED ON THE WIPER MOTOR, THE MOTOR WILL BE REPLACED.
