Has My New Honda in Clear Lake, TX Been Recalled Because of a Defect?

 

A:

Clear Lake, TX auto defect attorney answers: It is certainly possible. This past couple of years have seen quite a few Honda recalls. An auto defect greatly increases your chances of injury from a Clear Lake, TX auto accident. The most notable recent Honda recalls include:

1. The automaker just announced a recall for about 347,000 Pilot SUVs manufactured in Lincoln, Alabama for the 2009 to 2011 model years. The Honda recall stems from incomplete or missing stitching where the front seat belt lap band attaches to the outboard anchor webbing. The stitching flaw could cause the seat belt parts to detach and the belt to fail in the event of a car wreck.

2. Early in September 2011, Honda recalled almost a million vehicles to replace the master switch for the power windows on Fit and 2006 CR-V models. This design defect could cause window cleaner to accumulate, degrade the electrical contacts of the switch, and cause a fire.

3. Honda also recalled 26,000 manual transmission CR-Z compact hybrids worldwide. A software flaw could allow the motor to rotate in an opposite direction to the transmission gear (so, for instance, your car might roll forward when you thought you had put it into reverse).

4. In August, Honda recalled 1.5 million of its vehicles in the U.S. to repair a transmission defect.

5. In December 2010, Honda recalled about 36,000 Passport SUVs from the 1998 to 2002 model years sold in states that use a lot of road salts because of corrosion that could potentially cause mounting brackets in the suspension system to detach from the frame of the car.
