Recall 07V-034: 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Feb 8, 2007, covering about 31,123 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger vehicles, certain parts of the integrated motor assist (Ima) system are located under a metal cover behind the rear seat-back. Over time the weight of rear seat passengers may cause the metal cover to come into contact with a rubber cap covering an electrical terminal. The rubber cap may get pinched, exposing the electrical terminal.
The risk
The terminal may come into contact with the metal cover, which can result in an electrical short that may blow the ima fuse. A blown fuse will cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a plastic cover attached to a metal bracket over the rubber cap. The recall began on february 26, 2006. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
