Filing in context
The Speedometer is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 36 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 18 Honda notifications from 2024 in this archive. For scale, 1,107 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 3 years and 1 month.
Defect
The front and rear wheel speed sensors have an inadequate waterproofing design, allowing water to enter the sensor interior during driving in rain or similar conditions. Water intrusion causes a short circuit in the sensor circuit, disrupting the wheel speed signal. This may result in speedometer malfunction or traction control activation causing poor acceleration. In the worst case, the system may falsely detect wheel lock while driving and the brakes may become ineffective.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front and rear wheel speed sensors with corrected/revised parts.

状況
前後車輪速センサの防水構造が不適切なため、雨中走行等により、当該センサ内部に水が浸入するものがある。そのため、センサ回路が短絡し、車輪速信号が乱れ速度計指示不良、または、トラクションコントロール制御が働き、加速不良となるおそれがある。最悪の場合、走行中に車輪がロックしたと誤検知して、ブレーキが効かなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、前後車輪速センサを対策品に交換する。
