DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT


Posted on: 2017-11-14
Description
Honda (american honda motor co.) is recalling certain 2017 honda civic sedan and coupe vehicles.  The right halfshaft may have been improperly heat treated, reducing its strength.

Consequence
The improper heat treatment can result in the halfshaft breaking, preventing the engine from moving the vehicle, and can allow a possible roll away situation if the parking brake is not engaged.  This can increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the halfshaft's serial number, replacing it as necessary and aligning the front wheels, free of charge.  The recall began december 8, 2017.  Owners may contact honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.  Honda's number for this recall is k0e.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
