Honda recalls 17,000 Civic.

hurray. mines included~

yay~ another recall on the new civic what's that make it now the 4th?

Maybe they should give us free cookies when we get it fixed? Whilst it's great that they put in the effort to recall something when there is potential for a safety issue, they also need to consider not everyone has spare time to just... take their car in.

(and yes I'm aware that I'm spending my Saturday night/Sunday morning posting on OzHonda forums)

is it possible to fix it ourselves? No time to take into Honda. If its just relocating some cables, it shouldnt be too hard, just need instructions

Yeah i was wondering wats YM for at first..but figured it out later.

SO wats the next step to this?

We book our cars in for inspection or we just wait till the next service ( in that case i have to wait for another 9000kms for my next service). Anyone can briefly explain the usual proicedure for recalls. thx

called my dealer and also honda australia, they dont know anything about the recall.

If you go to www.recalls.gov.au its all there. I wonder why they didn't know anything about it? The info on this website would have to have come from the manufacturer in the 1st place?? Am I correct?

Why, because it has four faults? Have you seen other new car models that have come out - some have 10-15 plus faults!

Are you talking about 'faults' or 'recalls' as there is a very large difference between the two.

ummm... i believe you're the one who called it "four faults" instead of "four recalls"?

Anyway, nevermind of my comments... i'll delete it soon...

[edit]deleted

just rang the dealer and they didn't know anything about it.

honda australia said to wait until we get a letter in the mail.

obviously isn't life threatening!!

they haven't notified honda dealers in australia of this yet. i haven't heard of any cases of this happening in civics either.
