Some Hondas are easy to steal:
RECALLS: Honda interlock repairs exceed 1 million
By Harry Stoffer
Automotive News / February 21, 2005
WASHINGTON -- American Honda Motor Co. Inc. is recalling nearly 500,000 cars to fix a defect that can allow them to roll away when they are parked.
The cars were built for the 1997-2002 model years. The automaker conducted a similar repair of nearly 600,000 other Honda and Acura vehicles in late 2003. In both cases a flaw in the ignition interlock system allows a driver to remove the key when the transmission is not in park. The rollaway danger occurs when a motorist leaves the vehicle without
shifting into park or applying the emergency brake, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says.
The recall involves some 1999-2002 Honda Accords, 1997-2001 Honda Preludes and 1999-2000 Acura TLs.
Honda told NHTSA it believes the defect has developed in less than 0.05 percent of the recalled vehicles, or 250 cars. But it is installing an improved interlock lever in all of them, the automaker says. There is no way to predict which cars will fail, said William Willen, managing counsel in Honda's regulatory office.
Honda plans an additional repair of those cars that already have had an interlock failure. The automaker says it has not defined that repair.
Documents on file with NHTSA show the recall covers only vehicles with interlocks from an unidentified Japanese supplier. Cars with parts from a U.S. supplier do not appear defective.
The earlier recall involved some 1998-99 Honda Accords and Acura CLs and 1999 Honda Odysseys and Acura TLs.
