- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 02V120000
- Manufacturer: AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.
- Reported: 2002\-05\-16
- Owners notified: 2002\-06\-14
- Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
- Units potentially affected: 1000000

## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES,   ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.


## What can happen

WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH.   OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002.   OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1\-800\-999\-1009 OR ACURA AT 1\-800\-382\-2238.


## Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1\-888\-DASH\-2\-DOT \(1\-888\-327\-4236\).
