Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Blowby Gas Recirculation System as the affected component. This filing is one of 17 Honda notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 1,025 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 7 months.
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.
