Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 16 Honda notifications from 2011 in this archive. For scale, 2,703 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 1 year.
Defect
During engine side mount installation, mounting bolts on some vehicles damaged the insulation of the engine room wire harness. Vibration during driving may cause the damaged insulation to rupture and create a short circuit, resulting in the right headlamp, front fog lamps, clearance lamps, and brake lamps failing to illuminate, and the horn failing to sound.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the electrical wiring. If the conductor is damaged, replace the entire wiring harness with a new part. If only the insulation or protective cover is damaged, repair the affected section and reroute the wiring to its proper position.
