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 41 Honda notifications from 2015 in this archive. For scale, 4,831 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
During engine side mount installation, mounting bolts on some vehicles damaged the insulation of the engine room wire harness. Vibration during driving can cause the damaged insulation to rupture and 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 wiring. If the conductor is damaged, replace the complete wiring assembly with a new unit. If only the insulation or protective cover is damaged, repair the affected section and reroute the wiring to its correct position.
