SUDDEN FAILURE OF HEAD LIGHT LOW BEAMS, DUE TO OVERHEATING OF HEAD LIGHT SWITCH. DAMAGE TO BOTH SWITCH AND COUPLER HAVE OCCURRED. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE WHEN I TOOK IT TO HIM AFTER SUDDEN LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V086000, FOR HONDA CIVIC 2002 VEHICLES. HONDA HAD THEIR OWN RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, UNDER "CAMPAIGN P23."

I AM REQUESTING THAT THE RECALL BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

ON THURSDAY 10SEP2008 I ARRIVED HOME IN THE EVENING AND DISCOVERED THAT BOTH OF MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THEY WENT OUT, BUT I CLEARLY HAD JUST DRIVEN HOME IN THE DARK WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. I CHANGED BULB, CHECKED FUSES, ETC WITH NO USEFUL RESULT. ONLINE SEARCH REVEALED NHTSA RECALL 04V086000, WHICH INCLUDES THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS OUT OF TOWN (NOT USING CAR) FOR A BIT OVER A WEEK, AND THEN ON 20SEP2008 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (OURISMAN HONDA IN BETHESDA MD). DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, BUT REQUIRED ME TO PAY FOR REPAIR ($358.76) BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE RANGE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE IS , WHILE THE RECALL INCLUDED THE RANGE SHHEP3...2U300001 THRU SHHEP3...2U300222. THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF REPAIR WAS 46313. DEALERSHIP SERVICE WRITER (JUAN QUINTERO) GAVE ME A COPY OF HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 04-015, WHICH WAS ABOUT THIS RECALL. SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR THEY PERFORMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE BULLETIN. ON 02OCT2008 I CALLED HONDA (1-800-999-1009) TO REQUEST THAT THEY COVER THE REPAIR. THE PHONE REP WAS PRETTY FIRM THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE VIN WASN'T IN RANGE. SHE SAID I COULD REQUEST ADDITIONAL REVIEW AND SAID THAT THIS WAS ENTERED AS CASE NUMBER N032008-10-0200448 I HAVE NOT YET REQUESTED REVIEW OF THIS CASE, LARGELY BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUT-OF-RANGE VINS, AND NONE OF THEM SEEM TO HAVE SUCCEEDED IN GETTING HONDA TO COVER THE REPAIR. *TR
