New Recall: Rear Bearing (Revised, threads merged)

[cloudbreakmd]

Amazing... Second recall on the car and the Honda Ownerslink says my car has no recalls... Worthless (the Ownerslink recall link).

My VIN is included... Subscribed.

Second recall? What was the first one for?

[Cornizzy]

damn my car is part of that.. thanks ill call tomorrow..

[Gonzo]

Mine is sitting at the dealership as we speak. I am a little nervous. She better come back safe and sound.

[Cornizzy]

=p man i think my car has that other recall which is the rev hang thingy.. cuz sometimes when i rev it stays up for alil then it goes down.. but when ever i go into honda they check if i have any recalls and they said no..

[Firestrife]

Woosh great that my car isnt in it. Honda over here sucks anyhow and would be a total pain in the ass.
But if you are in the vin list it would be a good choice to get it changed.

Same one!! Thanks to the people in the Alberta Canada Honda factory. If this keeps happening they'll be able to single handedly undo Honda's reputation for quality.

Way to go!

I bet the Civics from Ohio and (of course) Japan are better built!!

when asking about the recall.... go straight to the service manager...

To be clear, a Safety Recall is not the same as a regular Technical Service Bulletin (TSB), but it is covered by one. The OPDS Safety Recall (airbag system) was for wire chafing on front passenger seats of some '06 Civics. There never was a recall for "rev hang", but there was a TSB for an ECM reflash if the original DBW programming wasn't to your liking.

Why would you ask anyone other than a service manager about a recall? strCIVIC, if your car isn't in the recall's VIN range, there's no need to "fix" anything. Honda changed how it installs the sensors, so if this recall doesn't apply to your car, the O-rings are fine. Messing with what should be a proper installation will only increase the likelihood of failure.

Dude my car was assambled in ohio and it has minimal to no problems at all.
But i keep hearing about some guys with all sort of problems on here. I always wondered why and now i know.

Just out of curiosity, for anyone that the recall affects, does Honda's Owner Link tell you about it?

Does anyone know if the TSB applies to Canada or has VIN numbers in the Canadian range?

This recall is not on OwnersLink, but the OPDS recall isn't, either.

Nothing in the TSB refers to country of origin or destination; VIN ranges are all that's given. msqr, the recall currently affects the VINs listed (see 1st post, this thread). Unless Honda adds to the list, that's it.

^ Thanks. Hmm my VIN # is not in the range. My 6th digit from the right is a 1 and not a 7...

Get your facts straight.

1) HCM is in Alliston, Ontario not Alberta.

2) The Civics built in Ohio have had just as many service bulletins/TSB's, etc. I know because I work for one of the biggest parts suppliers to Honda (and the Account Manager in charge of the Civic project within our company). We see every detail of all warranty claim and JD Power info, and analyze it on a daily basis.

3) The only reason this claim is being linked to Honda Canada is because the reported cases have been IN Canada (use of road salts is much higher here, which would obviously increase the possibility of it happening here). The 4 door Civics that are built at Honda in Ohio are mainly for the mid-western and southern US. Not much chance of road salts affecting a seal there.

northeast, westeast and central US use alot of road salts too during winter season.

It does affect Canadian Civics. I just called the dealer and they confirmed my VIN. Going in on Monday to have it inspected/replaced.
