Vehicle speed control, accelerator pedalOct 10, 2019
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

Steering, hydraulic power assist, hose, piping, and connectionsMay 17, 2012
Honda is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL and model year 2003-2007 Accord V6 vehicles. In May 2012, Honda filed a defect report to recall certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL vehicles. In September 2012, Honda informed the agency that it was including an additional 573,147 vehicles including certain model year 2003 through 2007 Accord V6 vehicles. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 625,762. Prolonged under-hood and power steering fluid temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely, resulting in cracks and power steering fluid leakage.
If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose, free of charge. The original recall began in June 2012, and owners of those vehicles may obtain the free remedy. Sufficient parts are not yet available for owners of the vehicles covered by the September 2012 expansion, but are expected to be available in early 2013. Honda will notify owners of these vehicles beginning on October 26, 2012, and will notify these owners again when parts are available so those vehicles can be brought to dealers for applications of the free remedy. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

THIS COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, BROKEN PIECES OF THE OUTER RACE OR BALL BEARING FROM THE SECONDARY SHAFT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE PARKING PAWL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER HAS PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE PARK POSITION. ENGINE STALL AND UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO PERSONS WITHIN THE PATH OF A ROLLING VEHICLE.
HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 27, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009.

I CALLED HONDA AND NHTSA AND HAVE BEEN TOLD ONLY THAT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST - I KNOW THAT - THAT IS THE VERY REASON FOR MY CONCERN. I DO NOT TRUST THAT ONLY THE RECALLED VINS ARE AT RISK. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT MY VEHICLE AND ITS AIRBAGS IS NOT BEING PROVIDED. EVEN THE HIGH-LEVEL GENERAL CRITERIA PROVIDED BY NHTSA AND HONDA CHANGES FREQUENTLY, AND RECALLS KEEP EXPANDING AFTER THE FACTS OF NEW DEATHS AND INJURIES. ALSO, THE NOTION OF WAITING FOR TAKATA ANALYSES, PREVIOUSLY FALSIFIED IS NOT REASONABLE AT ALL, LET ALONE UNTIL DEC 2019. NHTSA NEEDS TO SEE TO IT THAT ALL OF THE LISTED / AFFECTED VEHICLES BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAGS/INFLATORS NOW OR THAT LOANER CARS BE PROVIDED NOW. ALSO, NHTSA NEEDS TO SEE TO IT THAT WE ARE GIVEN SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THE PARTICULAR AIRBAGS IN OUR CARS ALONG WITH DETAILED INFORMATION ON WHY EACH HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALLED.

I PUT THE ALL FOUR WINDOWS DOWN BEFORE DRIVING. AFTER I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I PUT ALL FOUR WINDOWS UP, LATER ON THAT DAY BEFORE LEAVING MY DESTINATION, I TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WOULD GO DOWN WAS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE OTHER WINDOWS WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND, BUT WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MANY HONDA ACCORD MODELS. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE COMPANY WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM, HONDA OWNERS ARE VERY LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY MANY OF US. THIS PROBLEM MAKES ME A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER HONDA.

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING OUR 2007 ACCORD. SHE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CROSSED HER PATH, WHEREUPON THE FRONT OF OUR HONDA STRUCK THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THIS WAS ON STATE ROUTE 66 AT THE ON-RAMP TO I-215. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SEATBELT IS LOCKED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW BLINKING. SHE SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES FROM HITTING HER HEAD ON SOMETHING DURING THE COLLISION AND THERE WERE ABOUT $3,000 IN REPAIRS TO OUR HONDA. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THE CRASH SINCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BLINKING, WHICH I PRESUME TO MEAN THAT THE MODULE HAS RECORDED A PERMANENT DEPLOYMENT EVENT.

IN TODAY'S NYTIMES, MAY 4, 2016, A NEWS ARTICLE STATES THAT THE PROBLEM NOW FOUND IS THAT AMMONIUM NITRATE IN THE TAKATA INFLATOR IS NOW THE MOST CRITICALLY UNSAFE PROBLEM IN THE AIRBAG. IN A CONVERSATION TODAY WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE NAMED SHERYL, SHE STATED SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE AMMONIUM NITRATE PROBLEM, AND THAT OUR INFLATOR HAD BEEN REPAIRED IN 2014. I REQUESTED THAT SHERYL GIVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER OF A SUPERVISOR WHO MIGHT KNOW MORE ABOUT THE AMMONIUM NITRATE PROBLEMS & REPAIR SOLUTIONS. SHE STATED SHE COULDN'T GIVE OUT ANY NUMBER, OR CONNECT ME, BUT SHE COULD SEND A REQUEST TO A SUPERVISOR LAURA, AND ADDED THAT LAURA WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY EXPLANATION OR INFORMATION DIFFERENT THAT SHERYL'S.

WE WISH TO BE SAFE AND SOUND IN A CAR, NOT ANXIOUS THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES, OR GOD FORBID, DEATH TO ANYONE.
