Recall 03V274000: A/T Shift Cable Corrosion

DEFECT: On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, excessive corrosion of the shift cable linkage could prevent the driver from shifting the automatic transmission into Park. If the vehicle operator fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur. Dealers will inspect the shift cable linkage for corrosion. If corrosion causes binding, they will replace the shift cable.

REMEDY: Dealers will also install a new corrosion-resistant control pin. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during August 2003. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
