Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1109720 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | August 21, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Blowby Gas Recirculation System |
| Production period | October 2002 — May 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 29,494 units |
Defect
The blowby gas recirculation system piping—specifically the breather tube length and breather pipe shape—is improperly designed. Repeated hard acceleration in low ambient temperatures may cause engine movement to dislodge the breather pipe. As a result, blowby gas may be released directly into the atmosphere during high engine load operation.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the breather pipe and breather tube with the corrected parts.
