180,000 Ontario-Made Honda Civics Recalled Because Of Steering Wheel Concerns
Friday September 14, 2007 CityNews.ca Staff Chinese-made products have been the subject of several high-profile recalls in 2007, but the latest comes from Canada and is a lot more significant than a toy with too much lead in its paint. Honda Motor Company announced plans to recall more than 180,000 Civics from the 2006-2007 model year Friday, in an attempt to fix a wheel-bearing seal that could lead to a wheel falling off the car. Honda spokesman Richard Jacobs says all of the Civics were produced in Alliston, Ontario and that 80 per cent of the Honda vehicles are exported to the U.S. The concern is that the seal where the antilock brake sensor is mounted to the rear wheel bearing might allow moisture and salt to leak in and cause corrosion. The recall was sparked by two related complaints, including one in which the wheel came off the vehicle while it was being towed, though no injuries have been reported. Owners are being notified of the recall and can contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 for more information. * Also Friday, Chrysler announced plans to recall 300,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Commanders because of potential brake trouble. Just a heads up to anyone with a new civic... |
