Recall 03V422000: Ignition Switch Inspection/Repair

DEFECT: On some sport utility vehicles, metal particles in the key cylinder body could interfere with the interlock lever operation, making it possible to remove the ignition key without shifting the transmission to "Park." If the vehicle operator does not shift to "Park" before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.


REMEDY: Dealers will inspect and test ignition switches for contamination interference. Any switches that fail the test will be repaired. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during November 2003. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
